Holger Schulze, a mobile security expert, explains to Charles the benefits and risks of a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. The benefits include cost savings, improved productivity, and happier employees. However, risks include security breaches, data loss, and lack of IT support resources. A survey found that companies experienced lack of IT support issues almost twice as often as data loss issues. For BYOD to be successful, making IT support a priority is important to avoid potential problems.
