Techopedia Explains Bring Your Own Device Policy (BYOD Policy)
The U.S. federal government released BYOD guidelines that encourage businesses to implement and embrace the BYOD policy trend. On May 23, 2012, U.S. Chief Information Officer (CIO) Steve VanRoekel released these guidelines in the document, Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People. Through this strategy, a Digital Service Advisory Group was formed to help federal agencies establish BYOD policies based on lessons from successful BYOD programs. BYOD security remains problematic, due to various device types and workplace fragmentation. However, as mobile device management improves, companies are learning how to implement BYOD more effectively.Related Question
