There is no doubt that BYOD has been widely accepted in corporate workplaces. A recent study by Cisco showed that 95% of organizations use BYOD in some form or another. This is an overwhelming statistic that shows BYOD has reached well beyond critical mass.

At the beginning of the BYOD movement, organisations simply forbid users to access corporate resources with personally owned, unmanaged devices. Eventually, in order to increase productivity and satisfaction of mobile workers, lower device costs for businesses, organisations started to embrace BYOD and allow employee owned devices access to corporate networks. Once these devices are allowed to access corporate networks, they consequentiallybring a great number of risks including mobile malware, IP theft and data loss. Given that today, 95% of organizations allow BYOD devices, the threat and risk to corporate network, data and applications continues to grow exponentially.
