Weighing the Challenges of BYOD and Dealing with them successfully
Data centers and network services have grown so advanced that today any place can become your office. Working from remote locations is no more a thing of tomorrow. There is a sudden shift in the demand for network access and availability anytime, anywhere. Many people are even crying out for internet as free basics. One of the facet of network accessibility is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) - a buzzing corporate culture today. Many large organizations have adopted BYOD concept because it offers multiple advantages; the major one being the lesser investment needs. Apparently, when the employees are using their own laptops/devices, the employer will be saving a huge capital. Moreover, people do not need to rush to work and travel a long distance. The employees are able to work from outside the office, even from their home. This also improves the productivity of the employees as they are allowed to work in the desired environment as well on the desired device. With BYOD, business communication becomes much easier and faster. The employees’ responsiveness get enhanced too as they can reply on mails from any remote location. Looking to the other side of coin, BYOD has few serious challenges and the prime one is SECURITY. 
Lost/stolen device: There is much likeliness that an employee leaves his laptop in a hotel room or miss his mobile-phone in a taxi. Imagine if these lost or stolen devices fall into the hands of a wrong person, the sensitive information contained in these devices may be misused. This may even cause an irreparable damage to the company.
