Mobile devices are rapidly over taking PC usage providing employees the convenience of using their mobile devices to perform their jobs wherever and whenever they see fit. This has given rise to a whole new set of challenges as business data and systems can be accessed anywhere/anytime. The benefits of BYOD are vast, as are the risks.
