BYOD is frequently engaged by small or big enterprises as a way to
increase work efficiency and reduce business cost, for enterprise
mobility. In fact, lately it has even become a need to stay connected
with work on holiday.
According to the Randstand Q2 2015 Workmonitor research, One in three (32 per cent) find it hard to let go of work while on a holiday, while as many as 51 per cent of those surveyed said their boss expects them to be contactable.
BYOD has made work inseparable from our personal lives, and in a way has blurred all lines between work and personal usage.
What Happens without a BYOD Policy
Without a BYOD policy in place, employees will think they have the right and freedom to access company data in whichever way they like, especially if needed to after office hours. This means the use of personal devices to send and retrieve emails, download company's files and edit documents while accessing personal applications such as games or watch videos at the same time. Such practice could expose a company's confidential data through several online access points, and can be detrimental to the business.
Think of the Sony data breach in November 2014, where 100 terabytes of information containing emails between employees and personal data about employees and their families were publicly released in Wikileaks after a malware attacked several Sony employee's computers.
