Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Short definition
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): A policy allowing employees to use personal devices for work activities.
Meaning and how it works
Bring-your-own-device policies need separation of business and personal data plus a clear offboarding procedure. Business mobility combines calling apps, phone numbers, devices and access policies. Availability depends on the mobile carrier, network and device configuration.
Business applications
- Business scenario:
An employee uses a personal smartphone with a managed work profile and company security rules.
What to check before implementation
Review corporate-data security, off-site connectivity, operating-system restrictions and roaming or data charges before rolling out the feature.
