Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Bring your own device (BYOD) is a trend towards allowing employee-owned mobile computing devices, especially smartphones, to access enterprise networks, systems, and data.
For this discussion, explore the relative advantages and disadvantages of BYOD, particularly as it relates to mobile device management and securing the confidentiality and integrity of proprietary enterprise data. Ideally, you will speak from your own professional experience. If you do not have any professional experience related to BYOD policies or management, then please base your discussion on your own research and be sure to include citations. +300 words citation is APA
Despite these advantages there are some potential downsides related to introducing personal devices into work environments including privacy concerns due lack of visibility into activities conducted during non-work hours plus cyber security threats posed by malware/viruses living on personal machines where anti-virus software may not be regularly updated or even installed in some cases. There are also legal issues associated with storing/processing confidential information on personally owned property as well as compliance requirements based on various industry standards that must be taken into consideration before allowing these types of access points within an organization’s network environment (i.e., HIPPA regulations). Finally, supporting multiple operating systems across different manufacturers can make it difficult for IT teams to provide effective technical support resulting in frustration among both end users and support personnel alike leading potentially costly downtime impacts should problems arise without having available solutions ready at hand ahead of time thus adding additional expense back onto organizational budgets instead of saving money like originally intended upon implementation strategy execution planning stages prior launch phase operations set up scenarios planning initiatives processes protocols procedures implementations & deployments being adopted adopted deployed configured setup maintained administered supported monitored governed secured hardened etc..
