The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon has entered the mainstream, with nearly 70 percent of all smartphone-owning professionals now using their personal device to access corporate data, according to Ovum. However, almost 80 percent of today's BYOD activity remains inadequately managed by IT departments, leaving businesses not only at risk of data loss but unable to claim they took reasonable preventative measures, says the global analyst firm.
In the largest study conducted into employee BYOD behaviour and attitudes, surveying over 4,000 full-time employees, Ovum found a concerning level of ignorance by IT professionals about the BYOD trend.
