As personal devices, such as personal laptops, iPads, and WiFi enabled phones become more and more common, this equipment use policies should include a provision to limit / restrict network access to company-owned devices.
Thanks Kevin for your feedback. We did discuss this as an option, but chose to leave that out as there are many options now where companies are considering BYOC options for these devices. It is something that continues to be debated between organizations as well as IT Staff and End Users.
I agree with Kevin Quilliams and this may be an opportunity for Info-Tech to give us some data. I am finding more SMEs are not interested in BYOC and would prefer that this include the provision mentioned by Kevin. Let the exceptions edit out while the rest of us need it in. Are there any numbers saying more companies, regardless of size are adopting BYOC?
