Putting IT Back in Control of
BYOD

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past several years, one of the most important trends to impact organizations
of all sizes – but particularly mid-sized and large organizations – is for employees to
use their own smartphones and tablets in the course of their work. The so-called
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend was initiated several years ago, often by senior
executives who had purchased an Apple iPhone or an Android device and then
requested their IT department to support it instead of, or in addition to, the mobile
device that the company had supplied to them. Osterman Research includes as a key
element of the BYOD trend the various applications that employees use as part of
their work, such as personal file sync services.

To understand just how pervasive this trend has become, Osterman Research
conducted a survey of 760 individuals with regard to the BYOD issues they face in
their organizations. We found, as shown in the following figure, that unlike RIM
BlackBerry smartphones – the traditional mainstay among corporate smartphone
users – personally owned Apple iPhone and iPads, as well as Android smartphones
and tablets, are more common than their company-supplied counterparts. The so-called

Our research also found widespread use of third party, cloud-based storage and file
synchronization offerings that are sometimes used with IT’s blessing, but more often
not: Dropbox, for example, is used in 14% of 1,000+ employee organizations with
IT’s blessing – and in 44% of them without approval.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
• The BYOD trend for both mobile devices and employee-managed applications is
pervasive and growing. Although most common in smaller organizations, even
very large enterprises are experiencing the impact of BYOD.

• BYOD offers various benefits, including more efficient work by employees,
possibly lower IT costs and improved corporate morale.

• At the same time, BYOD is fraught with risks that include reduced protection
from malware and data breaches, various legal and regulatory problems, more

difficult management of content for activities like eDiscovery or regulatory
compliance, corporate governance obligations that are more difficult to satisfy,
and often higher costs.

• A large proportion of organizations have not fully embraced the impact of BYOD.
For example, our research found that even among organizations with 1,000 or
more employees, only 54% have a formal IT policy for supporting personally
owned mobile devices used for work purposes; the proportion of smaller
organizations that have such an IT policy is even lower.

• A failure to put IT in control of BYOD is having a negative impact: between 12%
and 33% of organizations (depending on the number of employees) report that
the use of smartphones is being hindered or slowed because IT cannot manage
them to the extent they would like; 20% to 42% of organizations report the
same for the use of tablets.

• There is also concern about corporate data that is stored by third party, cloud- Organizations

THE GROWING TREND TOWARD BYOD instead of
WHAT EXACTLY IS “BYOD”? banning the use
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is exactly what its moniker implies: the growing trend
for employees to use personally-owned smartphones, tablets, laptops and other of personal
platforms to access corporate applications like email and databases; and to create, devices and
store and manage corporate data using these devices. For example, our research
found that business email and Web browsing are the most commonly used business applications
tasks for which mobile devices are used (employed by 99% and 93% of users, outright.
respectively), but use of personal social media, corporate social media and storage of
business-related documents are also commonly used.

Osterman Research actually takes a somewhat broader approach to BYOD to include
applications like personal file sync services and Skype as part of this trend, since the
implications from the use of these tools – which are typically downloaded by
individual users for their personal use – are identical: corporate data is accessed,
created, stored and managed using tools that are under the direct control of
employees, more or less independently of corporate IT departments and most often
without their blessing and often without their knowledge.

BYOD IS PERVASIVE
Just how pervasive is the BYOD trend? The research we conducted for this white
paper, and presented in the following figure and table, demonstrates that BYOD is
quite common across organizations of all sizes.

ment.
The pervasiveness of BYOD is also borne out by other research. For example:

• A Research and Markets study found that 65% of enterprises worldwide will
adopt BYOD to some extent by the end of 2012i.

• An Aberdeen Group study found that 75% of companies permit BYODii.

• Equanet reports that 71% of tablets used in a business setting are employee-
ownediii.

• Some companies are migrating to a completely BYOD approach, such as Cisco,
where 100% of mobile devices are provided by employees and not the company
itselfiv.

EMPLOYEES ARE DRIVING BYOD BECAUSE…
There are several drivers for BYOD. For example, employees often want newer,
faster and overall higher performance hardware than what their employer provides


BYOD

for them across a variety of platforms: desktop PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc. This
is due in part to the fact that decisions about personal devices are not constrained by
the return-on-investment and limited budget considerations that often limit IT
decision making. Moreover, individuals are generally freer to make impulse
purchases in response to the latest and greatest hardware announcements – IT
departments typically make more well-informed, more well thought-out decisions
about purchasing capital equipment and do so during normal hardware refresh
cycles. In short, individuals who buy new hardware for themselves are not
constrained by the need to make a business case for their purchases.

With regard to the widespread use of applications like personal file sync services or
Skype, or the hundreds of thousands of other applications available via the Apple or
Android apps stores, there are somewhat different drivers involved. For example:

• A growing proportion of employees work at home as part of formal or informal
telework programs and so are not as constrained by their IT department about
downloading and installing applications that may or may not have been vetted
for use on the corporate network.

• Many IT departments impose file-size limits or prevent the sending of certain Many employees

THE BENEFITS OF BYOD platform.
There are three fundamental benefits that the trend toward BYOD can provide:

• Users are more efficient
One of the primary ways in which BYOD helps users is by making them more
efficient. Having access to every file and every email from any hardware
platform or Web browser enables users to get more work done. For good or
bad, numerous surveys have found that a large proportion of employees check
email and do other work after hours on weekdays, on weekends and on
vacation. BYOD is a key enabler of this phenomenon.

• Corporate costs can be reduced
At least in the short term, corporate costs can be reduced by having employees
fund some or all of their mobile device and cloud-based application
requirements. For example, while many employers will pay for employees’
mobile devices outright, some provide only partial reimbursement, if that. A
comScore MobiLens study of BlackBerry users in late 2011 found that 22% of
employers provide only partial reimbursement for users’ devicesv. Moreover, an
Aberdeen Group study found that carrier costs for employee-owned devices are
$10 per month per device lower than if the company owns the devicevi.


BYOD

• Employee retention and satisfaction can be improved
There is also some evidence to suggest that when employees are permitted to
choose their own mobile device their job satisfaction is higher. For example, an
Aberdeen Group study found that 61% of companies that permit employees to
use their own mobile device experience higher employee satisfactionvii.

THE DANGERS OF BYOD
SECURITY
One of the fundamental dangers of BYOD is that personally owned and managed
devices used to create, access and store corporate data will typically bypass inbound
content filtering systems that have been deployed by IT. One result of this is a
potentially greater likelihood for malware intrusion, particularly for Android devices.
For example, F-Secure found that for the 12-month period ending in the first quarter
of 2012, the number of new Android-focused malware families and variants had
increased from 10 to 37, and the number of malicious Android-focused application
package files had increased from 139 to 3,063viii. Moreover, personally owned
devices will normally bypass outbound content filtering systems, resulting in
potentially more violations of corporate and regulatory policies focused on encrypting One of the
sensitive content or preventing disclosure of confidential information. Add to this the
fact most personally owned devices cannot be remotely wiped if they are lost, leading fundamental
to a much greater likelihood of data breaches and loss of intellectual property. dangers of
The greater security risk posed by the use of personally owned devices was borne out BYOD is that

least 100 employees, we found that:

Moreover, BYOD can increase the likelihood that sensitive or confidential corporate content filtering
information will be breached. For example, researchers in a UK-based study acquired
49 mobile devices that had been resold through secondary markets; forensic
systems that have

devicesix.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROBLEMS
Another danger of BYOD – and one that also affects employers who provide mobile
devices themselves – is that non-exempt employees may have to be paid for their
after-hours work using mobile devices. This applies to employers who require this
work, as well as to those that are simply aware of it. For example, companies
including T-Mobile and Black & Decker have been sued by employees for their unpaid
overtime as a result of doing work with their smartphones after hoursx. In the case
of Scheinder v. Landvest Corporationxi, the court ruled that “an employer is obligated
to pay an employee for all hours worked, even those in addition to his or her pre-
scribed schedule, if the employer knows or has reason to know that the employee is
working additional hours”. Terremark Worldwide was sued in a 2008 class action
because Data Return LLC, a company that it had acquired, allegedly required
employees to respond to phone calls and emails after hours from their mobile
devicesxii.

It is also important to note that firms registered with FINRA and the SEC are required
to archive and monitor communications via smartphone. For example, FINRA


BYOD

Regulatory Notice 07-59xiii states “…a firm should consider, prior to implementing new
or different methods of communication, the impact on the firm’s supervisory system,
particularly any updates or changes to the firm’s supervisory policies and procedures
that might be necessary. In this way, firms can identify and timely address any
issues that may accompany the adoption of new electronic communications
technologies.”

CONTENT RETENTION AND MANAGEMENT
Smartphones and tablets contain a significant proportion of corporate data.
Osterman Research has found that more than five percent of corporate data is stored
just on users’ smartphones – we expect this figure to soar during the next 24 months
as iPads and other tablets are employed in much larger numbers. Employee-owned
and controlled devices make access to this data by corporate IT or compliance
departments much more difficult, such as during an eDiscovery exercise. This is not
only because of the difficulty that might be encountered in physically accessing these
devices, but also because of the potential privacy and other legal issues that are
raised by companies accessing their employees’ personal property.

From a purely practical standpoint, knowing what data is available on mobile devices
becomes more difficult. This is particularly problematic for legal counsel and others Placing a hold on

With regard to just the legal hold issue, when data that might be required in a legal systems – and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE under the control
There are a growing number of corporate governance obligations with which virtually and ownership of
every organization must comply, but particularly those in heavily regulated industries.
These obligations, which are focused primarily on the archiving, encryption and
individual
monitoring of certain types of communications, include the following: employees.
• The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of
requirements for protecting the security of consumers’ and others’ payment
account information. It includes requirements for building and maintaining a
secure network, encrypting cardholder data when it is sent over public networks
and assigning unique IDs to each individual that has access to cardholder
information.

• The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions to protect sensitive
information about individuals, including their names, addresses, and phone
numbers; bank and credit card account numbers; income and credit histories;
and Social Security numbers.

• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
requires healthcare and other organizations to protect sensitive health records of
patients and others. However, the “new” HIPAA that took effect during the first
quarter of 2010 greatly expands the impact of the law. For example, while
HIPAA previously applied mostly to physicians, medical practices, hospitals and
the like, now the business associates of these entities will be required to comply
with HIPAA’s rules about the security and privacy of protected health information
(PHI). That means that accountants, benefits providers, attorneys and others


BYOD

that are given access to PHI will now be fully obligated to comply with HIPAA.

• Electronic recordkeeping rules established by the SEC, FINRA, FSA and other
regulatory bodies are focused on financial services organizations’ obligations to
monitor and archive communications between registered firms and their
customers.

• The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure obligate organizations to manage their
data in such a way that it can be produced in a timely and complete manner
when necessary, such as during legal discovery proceedings.

• The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 obligates all public companies and their
auditors to retain relevant records like audit workpapers, memoranda,
correspondence and electronic records – including email -- for a period of seven
years.

• Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order No. 717 imposes various

data breach – will be 2.9 times greater.

STEPS TO MANAGING BYOD
There are five steps that Osterman Research recommends for any organization as it
attempts to manage the growth of BYOD:

• Management must understand the benefits and risks
The key to dealing with the BYOD phenomenon is first to understand just how
pervasive it is in most organizations. While most senior managers will surmise
that some of their employees are using personally owned smartphones and
tablets (given that senior managers often were the instigators of the trend after
the introduction of the iPhone), they may not appreciate just how widespread
this use has become. Senior managers need to understand how personally-
owned smartphones and tablets, as well as tools like personal file sync services
or Skype, are used throughout the organization, what types of data they are
used to access and store, and the reasons for their use.


BYOD

• Evaluate the options
Decision makers in IT, HR, compliance, etc. should then consider the options for
managing BYOD. The available options will range from doing nothing to
implementing draconian controls that will all but eliminate – or at least attempt
to eliminate – the use of personally owned devices and employee-managed
applications for work-related purposes. While some decision makers may opt for
the latter as a sort of knee-jerk reaction to protect corporate data assets or
reduce the potential for malware infiltration, there are two reasons to opt for
more open, rather than more restrictive, BYOD-related attitudes:

o Draconian controls are unlikely to work
Faced with a requirement to eliminate use of personal devices or
applications, many employees will do so secretly, particularly the growing
proportion of employees who work from home at least one day per week.
For organizations that need to lean in this direction, if eliminating consumer-
grade options, an easy-to-use, secure and sanctioned alternative must be

It is critically important that organizations faced with the BYOD problem applications,
implement policies about acceptable use of devices and applications, perhaps perhaps creating
creating a list of approved devices, operating systems, applications and other
personally owned or managed solutions. These policies should be detailed and a list of approved

operating
A key element of these policies as they apply to mobile devices should be that systems,
any mobile device must be wipe-able by the IT department in the event of its
loss, and that all devices that contain corporate content should be encrypted to applications and
prevent the loss of sensitive data or intellectual property. Corporate policies other personally

and managing corporate data on personally-owned devices or when using
specific applications. An important reason for doing so is not only to make
employees aware of the dangers that can ensue if corporate data is not
adequately protected, but also to achieve employee buy-in and cooperation with
corporate policies.

• Deploy the appropriate technologies
Finally, it is imperative that organizations deploy technologies, such as mobile
device management solutions, that will enable their policies to be satisfied and
for overall corporate risk to be managed at an appropriate level. For example,
an organization in which a consumer-focused file-sharing application is used
should deploy an alternative that is just as easy to use, but one that provides IT
control over how content is shared (expiration dates for content, tracking
managing and reporting of files downloads and sharing, control over file types
that can be sent, automatic encryption of content sent beyond the corporate
firewall, etc.). Similarly, an organization that allows employees to use personal
tablets should deploy a solution that enables full disk encryption, under IT’s


BYOD

control, that will protect sensitive data if the device is lost. Other technologies
that should be on the short list of those deployed include anti-virus, malware
detection and remediation, role-based access, content inspection and archiving –
these apply to both personally owned devices, as well as to employee-managed
applications.
