have a plan to deal with BYO and IoT
As an infosec IT manager, you will have to have a plan to deal with BYO and IoT. From a pure information security perspective, can you provide one good reason why you think embracing BYO and IoT devices can be positive in your organization.
Bring Your Own is a policy that is being accepted by many organizations. It is a policy that allows the workers to use their own devices to perform tasks in organizations. Bring Your Own policy should be embraced by organization. This is because the staff in the organization can work anywhere they are provided they have their own devices with them. Whenever there is a task to be performed the staff will be able to handle it even if the working hours are over and in the case of holidays and weekends. This is very advantageous to the organization because customers’ issues can be addressed in any time. The policy will also reduce the organizations’ budget. For instance, a lot of staff in an organization require a computer to perform their tasks. If the organization was to provide a computer for each staff, it would have an additional budget to purchase them. Hence, the BYO policy will reduce this cost because the staff will work on their personal devices. The policy also promotes security. Computers in an organization can be used by more than one person. This implies that the data is not properly secured because it can be accessed by multiple users. When using the BYO no one can access ones device unless authorized to do so. This promotes data security for the organization.
