• Some organizations now permit their employees to use personal devices to connect to the corporate network - Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). While BYOD may be seen as a facilitator, it also poses a variety of risks. To manage these devices and the risks they introduce to the enterprise infrastructure, many IT vendors have developed BYOD management solutions / platforms. This paper proposes a set of guidelines for selecting and evaluating what BYOD platform is best suited for an organization, considering information security risks such as malware propagation, theft and loss of devices, unauthorized access, data leakage etc.
