What is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
The term “BYOD” stands for Bring Your Own Device. The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture is a growing trend that is being embraced by Enterprises to allow their employees to use their personal devices like laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. for work. This enables the employees to work more efficiently as they are more comfortable using their own devices, be flexible with the time and place they work, and hence be more productive. Additionally, this could save businesses from investing in an expensive process of device distribution.
However, the growing BYOD trends have significant concerns related to corporate data security. Organizations are required to devise an efficient BYOD management program to gain more control over devices used for business activities.
