This document discusses the legal challenges of creating a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy for employees. It outlines 10 key legal risk issues that need to be addressed, including privacy of personal information, data security, intellectual property rights, and employee training. Developing a comprehensive BYOD policy requires considering privacy laws, data protection, device usage policies, and ensuring all legal bases are covered to avoid liability issues from employees' personal device use for work.

A research whitepaper published in November by Ovum and commissioned by Logicalis, revealed a great many interesting BYOD trends – many of which were highlighted in a recent CXO post (BYOD Research) by Ian Cook. Perhaps the most startling, however, was the very low proportion of ‘BYOD-ers’ who have signed corporate BYOD policies.
In today’s media and technology age, website owners, designers, hosts and Internet Service providers are presented with multiple risks with regard to business and cyberspace. E-commerce now comprises approximately one-third of all the
business conducted on the Internet according to the Insurance Journal. Further, in 1999, businesses lost more than $20
billion because of power outages and hackers. Therefore, protection for your Internet-based resources must be a top
priority.

Protecting Intellectual Property in the Age of WikiLeaksSocialKwan
WikiLeaks stands as a warning for all of us responsible for protecting the digital assets and intellectual property (IP) of our organizations.
It is tempting to think that WikiLeaks, and the explosion of similar whistleblower and vigilante sites, as only interested in information from government, military, or political organizations. But a recent Forbes interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has a warning for us all.
FTC Internet of Things Report
The report includes the following recommendations for companies developing Internet of Things devices:
build security into devices at the outset, rather than as an afterthought in the design process;
train employees about the importance of security, and ensure that security is managed at an appropriate level in the organization;
ensure that when outside service providers are hired, that those providers are capable of maintaining reasonable security, and provide reasonable oversight of the providers;
when a security risk is identified, consider a “defense-in-depth” strategy whereby multiple layers of security may be used to defend against a particular risk;
consider measures to keep unauthorized users from accessing a consumer’s device, data, or personal information stored on the network;
monitor connected devices throughout their expected life cycle, and where feasible, provide security patches to cover known risks.
Information Obfuscation: Protecting Corporate DataTechWell
With corporate data breaches occurring at an ever-alarming rate, all levels of organizations are struggling with ways to protect corporate data assets. Rather than choosing one or two of the many options available, Michael Jay Freer believes that the best approach is a combination of tools and practices to address the specific threats. To get you started, Michael Jay introduces the myriad of information security tools companies are using today: firewalls, virus controls, access and authentication controls, separation of duties, multi-factor authentication, data masking, banning user-developed MS-Access databases, encrypting data (both in-flight and at-rest), encrypting emails and folders, disabling jump drives, limiting web access, and more. Then, he dives deeper into data masking and describes a powerful data-masking language. Explore how to develop standard masking business-rules and the best industry practices for manipulating masked data. You can get started slowly with information obfuscation without attempting to "boil the ocean."
Portal Authentication: A Balancing Act Between Security Usability and Complia...PortalGuard
Virtually every organization maintains highly sensitive information to which it must
control strict access. These data sources might include customer databases, CRM
systems, repositories of financial information and the like. Increasingly, these content
sources are accessed through portals Microsoft SharePoint and other solutions.
Importantly, SharePoint is among the leaders in Gartner’s 2013 Magic Quadrant for

INSTRUCTOR’S NAME
COURSE TITLE

Introduction
Google is a global leader in technology and is the most popular search engine in the world. Its technologies mostly rely on cloud computing offering services like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google App Engine, Google Cloud Storage, You tube among many others.
Users are able to access these technologies from many devices ranging from desktop computers and mobile phones. These services can also be accessed from almost any location on earth. These services are also having many users who share information that is confidential and sensitive in nature.
As a result there presents itself a great need for the protection of this information on a real time basis.
Cyber Security Policies
The Google cyber security policies cover a wide array of topics that touch on security. These policies must be adhered to by each and every employee in the organization. These policies cover topic such as accounts, data and physical security among other internal sensitive information.
The internet crimes are extremely dynamic and change very rapidly. This calls for the need to periodically train the staff on how to handle data, use the internet safely, and operate from remotely safe locations among other uses like safe use of social technologies.
In line with keeping the policy requirements that are in place Google has various departments that deal with security concerns of various natures and even how to deal with breaches or suspected breaches to help mitigate their overall adverse effects that may be experienced by the business.
These departments include:
1. Organizational Security
Several teams focus on information security, global security auditing and compliance. In addition to these is a physical security team that protects the hardware. The information security team establishes the security perimeter and maintains the internal defensive systems in the organization. They also develop internal processes for security review and customized security infrastructure. The global security auditing and compliance team ensures that there is a statutory and regulatory compliance on a global scale. The physical security team is charged with ensuring that the organization’s premises are well guarded.
2. Data Asset Management.
Google’s data assets include customers, end user assets and corporate data assets. For the personnel handling the data there is compliance to procedures and guidelines by the security team.
3. Access Control
This deals with authentication and authorization controls that are designed to keep away unauthorized personnel from accessing data assets. This includes identification of users and employees when using Google’s resources. Approvals are limited to one’s status according to job description and type of user.
4. Physical and environmental security
This covers physical security, environmental controls, power, climate and temperature, and fi ...
BYOD, Highlights of "Consumerization"
Neoris Practical InSights
Rodrigo Rey
Neoris Corporate IT Director
IT Department have to develop an answer to organize the exponential growth of business and personal data of employees, collaborators, consumers, and not only corporate users.
More and more employees are bringing their own devices and preferred applications into the enterprise, creating what we call the BYODA (BYOD plus Applications) phenomenon. Workers’ behavior and expectations are contributing to the consumerization of IT, where lines of business and users themselves are having an enormous influence on the types of technologies and applications used. While employees expect anytime, anywhere access to their content to get their work done, their CIOs are now expected to support BYOD within their corporate environment.
In most of the small businesses, the employees might own latest and more advanced devices like tablets, Ultrabooks or laptops while their employers provide them with desktop computers which are at least 2 or 3 years outdated. So this would be a good opportunity for the businesses to compete with the rival companies. But there are a set of risks that go along with this concept as well, such as the data risk.
