You’ve probably heard about the “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) schemes that allow employees to bring their own gear to the work. While that’s all nice — companies get to save some cash on buying dedicated devices and employees get to carry only a single device around — there are also some downsides. According to a new infographic from Rapid7, organizations will have to quickly learn how to control this “monster” in order to live safely in the land of BYOD. Here’s just some of the havoc this monster has caused:

  • 71% of businesses surveyed said mobile devices caused an increase in security incidents
  • 51% of organizations experienced data loss from employee use of unsecured mobile devices
  • 67% of Apple iOS devices are running outdated firmware

Additional stats are neatly presented in an infographic. Check it out and let us know what you think about it…
