BYOD Policies Fueling Security Risks
Security Boulevard, Thursday, September 12th, 2024
The use of employee mobile devices at work, known as bring your own device (BYOD), is a significant and growing threat to organizational security, according to Verizon's 2024 Mobile Security Index (MSI).
According to the report, 37% of employees in organizations that ban or lack a public Wi-Fi policy use it anyway, contributing to heightened security risks.
The findings also showed a sharp rise in mobile device threats, with 85% of respondents noting an increase over the past year.
