TCG Whats To Know: What Are Your Thoughts On "BYOD"?

“BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device) has become a popular trend in the business world. This trend has actually become a policy at many companies, such as RIM. The policy allows employees to use their personal devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops for company use. This is a controversial policy because it allows employees to access privileged company information and resources on their personal devices, therefore arguably lessening the security of the data.

Some employers find this to be an attractive policy because it could lead to higher employee productivity due to their access to company resources outside of the office. Other employers take the stance of convenience; most employees already bring their personal devices to the office so this policy helps streamline the employees’ work flow. A main concern for employers enforcing such a policy is the security of the data. If a device is lost or stolen and the appropriate pass codes or locks are not in place then the company faces a huge threat. Employers must consider protective measures that benefit the company as well as the employees, if implementing such a program.

Companies and employees are questioning whether employees should be reimbursed for using their personal devices rather than the company’s. This policy would likely save the company money on buying and maintaining such devices, so should the employee be paid for usage fees? Another question surrounding this policy is how the employees can efficiently keep their personal data and resources separate from the company’s? Combining or complicating personal and work files could become disastrous for the employers and the employees.
