Companies need to have thorough risk assessment and mitigation mechanism in place

BYOD could bring security vulnerabilities in to current secured environment

Security Policies….. Enterprises need to develop stringent security policies to

defend security threats from viruses and hackers. Companies need to ensure all data protection commitments

are fulfilled Employees should be allowed to install specific applications in

their devices Data encryption techniques should be used while transferring

data to and fro between corporate servers and personal devices

Things should be in place….

A dedicated team that includes personnel from IT, legal and human resource teams should monitor and ensure all the data protection and security standards are followed

Efficient monitoring mechanism is needed to monitor internet traffic on employee smart devices

Action plan to respond quickly to data breaches
