Microsoft is releasing best practices for enterprise workers who are considering using their personal technology device for work and play. This business trend, known as BYOD, continues to grow as more devices enter the marketplace giving consumers a variety of choice in terms of functionality and application for work and home.
According to Gartner Research, globally, eighty-eight percent of executives report employees use their personal computing technologies for business purposes today, while only sixty-two percent of executives say they now have, or are planning to have, a BYOD program for smartphones and tablets.
This gap could create challenges for the IT department for organizations that aren’t equipped with the right policies to ensure unwanted botnets or spyware don’t enter the enterprise.
