Going beyond BYOD

Offering businesses a world of possibilities, the key to getting enterprise mobility right is understanding the risks. If you don’t, it could be costing you money and putting your business at risk.

We’ve all heard the stories. The CEO of a global conglomerate goes on holiday with his family and has his device wiped after his three-yearold enters the wrong password one too many times. An errant employee uses his personal device to access corporate information and unwittingly exposes the entire organisation to some sneaky malware. Or perhaps a senior staff member leaves her company-issued laptop in a bar and the password to access the device is ‘12345’.

Each of these scenarios can have far-reaching consequences. Not only from a loss perspective – losing confidential information, breaking customer trust and affecting revenue – but also from a legal perspective. As legislation like the PoPI Act and the GDPR comes into force, situations like these could see organisations facing some pretty heavy fines.
