Topic: BYOD Benefits and Challenges
In today’s world there are an increasing number of companies adopting BYOD policies for their employees to use their own devices for work which involves a data separation issue along with cyber threats, hacking and confidential information theft. Is there enough research completed by businesses before adopting BYOD policy for employees? With continuously evolving technology there are many different options available in the market to implement BYOD policy. During the seminar we discuss the effect of BYOD on business and benefits as well as best case scenarios to implement BYOD policy which will help business grow and help employees to do their work more efficiently.
