BYOD presents unique challenges in data privacy, confidentiality, security, productivity, and acceptable use that must be met proactively by information security professionals. This report provides solid background on the practice, original research on its pros and cons, and actionable recommendations for implementing a BYOD program. Successful programs are cross-functional efforts including information technology, human resources, finance, legal, security, and business operating teams. This report is a valuable resource to any security professional considering a BYOD program. Presents research data associated with BYOD and productivity in the workplace. Describes BYOD challenges, risks, and liabilities. Makes recommendations for the components a clearly communicated BYOD program should contain.
