Bitglass 2020 BYOD Report: Increased Remote Work Drives BYOD, but Security is Not Keeping Pace
Summary
Bitglass partnered with a leading cybersecurity community and surveyed IT professionals to understand how their businesses have enabled the use of personal devices, what their BYOD security concerns and challenges are, and what actions they have taken to protect data in an increasingly remote and flexible work environment. 69% of respondents said that employees at their companies are allowed to use personal devices to perform their work, while some enable BYOD for contractors, partners, customers, and suppliers. Despite the concerns, the research shows that organizations are allowing BYOD without taking the proper steps to protect corporate data. “The top two reasons enterprises hesitate to enable BYOD relate to company security and employee privacy,” said Anurag Kahol, CTO of Bitglass. Bitglass is backed by Tier 1 investors and was founded in 2013 by a team of industry veterans with a proven track record of innovation and execution.
