The Government has issued guidance for organisations considering a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) approach, and describes the key security aspects to consider in order to maximise the business benefits of BYOD whilst minimising the risks. It also provides a useful reminder for those already implementing a BYOD approach. It should be used to inform risk management decisions for BYOD deployments. For security advice relating to specific mobile platforms, the End User Devices Security Guidance should be consulted. For further information on security practices for a range of mobile devices, guidance is given in CPNI’s Mobile Device Documentation. This guidance applies to any type of BYOD software product running on a personally owned device, including: (i) container applications on personally owned smartphones; (ii) bootable USB media on home PCs; and (iii) remote desktop or remote application products.
