BYOD Best Practices

Your employees are almost certainly bringing their own smartphones, tablets, and even laptops into your workplace. The Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) trend delivers plenty of benefits, of course, including reduced capital costs and increased productivity. In fact, IT research giant Gartner predicts that by 2017, half of employers will not just allow, but require employees to supply their own devices. On the other hand, as we discussed a few months ago, the key to implementing a successful BYOD program is striking a balance between productivity and security.

Whether you're requiring BYOD or just allowing it, you need a strategy to manage it — in other words, tools and policies that lock down your employees' mobile devices enough to protect your data, but not so much that they can't do their jobs. 

Xantrion can help you tailor a BYOD strategy to meet your specific needs, but the first step is to understand what your needs are. Our new BYOD Best Practices guide will educate you about the most important issues in easy-to-understand terms so you can begin to make choices about your options.
