Welcome to #cybertiptuesday! As organizations have continued to move towards a decentralization of their team, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) has become more prevalent. This has created challenges with management and security. As the name states, BYOD allows users to use their personal device for business purposes.
Since the devices aren't company assets, users can be reluctant to allow security software to be loaded on their device. However, an unprotected personal device accessing company data can lead to a hacker's dream. To prevent this, ensure you have a strict BYOD security policy that includes items such as a password policy, endpoint protection, the principle of least privilege, storage location protection or backup, and the ability to wipe the machine if the device is lost or stolen. #byodpolicy #protectyourself
