With employees wanting more control over how, where, and with which device they use to work, organizations can no longer ignore the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) to work phenomenon. The good news: there are benefits for companies as well. The bad news: the risks companies assume with BYOD are real (and can’t be ignored).
