The evolution of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has been as profound as it has been rapid. Itre presents the more visible sign that the boundaries between personal life and work life are blurring. The 9am- 5 pm model of working solely from office has become archaic and increasingly people are working extended hours from a range of locations.At the very heart of this evolution is the ability to access enterprise net works from anywhere and anytime. The concept of cloud computing serves effectively to extend the office out of office. The much heralded benefit of BYOD is greater productivity. However, recentre search has suggested that this is the greatest myth of BYOD and the reality is that BYOD in practice poses new challenges that mayoutweigh the benefits, A world wide survey commissioned by Fortinetchose to look at attitudes towards BYOD and security from the users’point of view instead of the IT managers.Specifically the survey was conducted in 15 territories on a group of graduate employees in their early twenties because they represent the first generation to enter the work place with an expectation ofown device use. Moreover, they also represent tomorrow’s influencers and decision makers. The survey findings reveal that for financial organizations, the decision to embrace BYOD is extremely dangerous,larger organizations will have mature IT strategies and policies in place. But what about smaller financial businesses ? They might not have such well developed strategies to protect confidential data.
Crucially, within younger employee group, 55% of the people share an expectation that they should be allowed to use their own devices in the workplace or for work purposes. With this expectation comes the very real risk that employees may consider contravening company policy banning the use of own devices. The threats posed by this level of subversion cannot be overstated. The survey casts doubt on the idea of BYOD leading to greater productivity by revealing the real reason people want to use their own devices. Only 26% of people in this age group cite efficiency as the reason they want to use their own devices, while 63% admit that the main reason is so they have access to their favourite applications. But with personal applications so close to hand, the risks to the business must surely include distraction and time wasting. To support this assumption 46% of people polled acknowledged time wasting as the greatest threat to the organization,while 42% citing greater exposure to theft or loss of confidential data.Clearly, from a user perspective there is great deal of contradiction surrounding BYOD and there exists an under current of selfishness where users expect to use their own devices,but mostly for personal interest.They recognize the risks to the organization but are adamant that those risks are worth taking.
