Imagine you are the IT manager for a large organization. Several of the
organization’s managers have asked you what the policies are when it comes to
employees using their personal devices at work. After talking to the Chief
Information Officer (CIO), you discover that he likes the Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD) idea but wants you to provide more information regarding the company’s
control of these devices and specifically the company’s ability to remote wipe
a device in case it is lost or stolen. Take a position on whether or not you
believe the company should have the right and the ability to remote wipe its
data from an employee’s lost or stolen personal device. If you are in favor of
lost devices being wiped, discuss the appropriate time to do so. Provide a
rationale for your response.

As explained in the e-Activity, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs are
initiated with the expectation of reduced costs for the company. In many
situations, such reductions are not realized due to hidden or unexpected costs
associated with the program. From the e-Activity, provide a minimum of two (2)
hidden costs that a company should expect with a BYOD initiative, and explain
the manner in which the company should address each.
