BYOD or COPE - Technology Isn't Always the Answer
Jinfo Article
18th October 2013
Abstract
Current concerns over the risks of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) developments focus as much on personal behaviour as on technological solutions. Reporting on growing tablet use at the office, Ovum warns that corporate security mustn't come at the expense of user experience, and Safetica implicitly acknowledges that acceptable use policies play as important a role in regulating personal computer use at work as does monitoring or blocking software. Finally, warning of the dangers of commuter snooping when people are working on confidential documents in public places, Iron Mountain suggests that the first priority is to educate employees.
