Mobile Devices and BYOD Bring your own device (BYOD) It happens with or without permission Policies for mobile devices in work place Reimbursement for costs incurred at work? Employee’s device cost subsidized? Required and not compensated?

Advantages of BYOD to Employers Quicker employee response to communications Saves employer cost of device Some jobs require or benefit from mobile devices Acceptance of BYOD attracts tech-savvy people Employees are inclined to work longer hours Job Training delivered to mobile devices

Disadvantages of BYOD to Employers May conflict with corporate security policy May violate government regulations Lost or stolen device puts employer at risk Employees leave job with sensitive data Unclear who owns intellectual property created on device

Risks of BYOD to Employees Cost of purchasing device Added voice and data usage Privacy at risk Risk of confiscation of device

Concerns for Basic BYOD Policies Who owns intellectual property created on device? What are appropriate security policies? How to enforce security requirements? How and when is employer data backed up? Are video and audio recording allowed during work? Will employer track employee’s location?
