Recent surveys suggest that three quarters of all companies allow employees to use their own devices at work, despite the fact that 90 per cent of security vulnerabilities common in desktops are also present in mobiles, and 87.5 per cent of mobile applications tested had one or more security flaws.
But according to a report published by The Security Company at http://www.thesecurityco.com/news/expert-comment/byod-its-not-all-bad-news/, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) schemes can be a positive experience if managed properly.
Referring to a case study featuring the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Bernadette Palmer, Head of Communications at The Security Company, says: “The success of this BYOD programme stems entirely from the early planning and input from security. Understanding security and risk requirements at the very start of the process allowed for a seamless business integration of a secure solution that met the needs of the council and its employees.”
