BYOD, is the Big Bad Wolf dead?

Most new systems are designed with mobility as a given. This gives rise to the creation and proliferation of a Shadow IT community. Traditional web security and filtering products were not designed to cope with today’s vast number of mobile devices and cloud applications. They need to evolve to embrace, and show, clear Cloud Application Control capability if they are to effectively serve today’s digital world.

BYOD, is the Big Bad Wolf dead?
About this insight

BYOD stopped being a debate and became the default, usually without anyone writing the policy down.

This whitepaper asks whether that was ever safe: the economics that won the argument, the shadow IT it created, and what a CIO can still control once the device is not theirs.

Written in March 2015, when the question was still open.

Inside
01Why BYOD won on cost before it won on policy — and what it did to capital spend, hiring and retention
02The shadow IT it created: cloud apps and storage a CIO has little or no sight of
03The risks that genuinely changed, and the ones that only felt new
04Writing a policy that holds: liability, lost devices, what an employee has to agree to, private apps on the corporate network
05Why the answer has to be network-based rather than another agent on someone’s own phone
