Bring your own device (BYOD)<\/a> programs are essential for endpoint risk management. Whether your organization embraces employee devices or restricts them, it must do so according to a consistent policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet many organizations are still transitioning between traditional on-site work and remote-enabled hybrid work. New technologies and challenges are popping up faster than IT leaders and their teams can keep up. Adopting the right administrative framework is vital for ensuring long-term security and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding how BYOD policies<\/a> impact employee connectivity and productivity is the first step toward identifying the right path forward. We\u2019ve collected the latest data available to help IT decision-makers balance employee expectations with their organization\u2019s security and availability needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to JumpCloud\u2019s Q3 2024 SME IT Trends report<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n These are powerful motivators pushing IT leaders toward implementing BYOD policies<\/a>. The ability to manage devices and enable remote work are increasingly seen as strategic advantages. Organizations that fully support remote work with streamlined device management policies can retain top talent and grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Samsung<\/a> completes the picture with the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n BYOD usage appears to be an increasingly popular trend. However, it may not be most users\u2019 first option. Beyond Identity<\/a> reports that eight out of 10 employees say they would prefer to use separate devices for work and personal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research and Markets<\/a> estimates that the global market for BYOD enterprise mobility solutions is worth $98.8 billion. Experts expect that figure to reach $157.3 billion by 2026 \u2014 a 16.7% compound annual growth rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trend toward enabling employees to use their own devices at work began during the pandemic. Now, 90% of employees<\/a> report using a mix of company-issued and personal devices for work. Even as some employees return to the office, the expectation that they use their personal devices hasn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This aligns with the results of a survey performed by Cybersecurity Insiders<\/a>. According to the report: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations exhibit a great deal of variety in the types of devices they support and how they support them. According to our research:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Samsung<\/a> completes this perspective into device diversity with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While BYOD is a global phenomenon, BYOD adoption is not uniform across the world. According to data from Egnyte<\/a>, the regional growth rate of BYOD practices is highest in North America, Oceania, and Asia. It is particularly pronounced in Australia, India, and China, where growth is outpacing already mature markets like the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe is trending in the middle of BYOD adoption. Companies in countries like Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany are transitioning toward BYOD adoption, but at a slower rate than their North American or Asian counterparts. European employees may be more reluctant to share personal and work-related applications on a personal device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n South American, African, and Middle Eastern countries are trending on the low end of BYOD adoption. There is less data on BYOD statistics in these regions overall, suggesting that few organizations are ready to dedicate time and effort to building infrastructure and formalizing BYOD governance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visibility remains a core challenge to BYOD security. According to our own research<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations that open their IT infrastructure up to unmanaged devices must contend with the risk of unauthorized applications running on those devices. Shadow IT remains one of the most challenging risks<\/a> for IT leaders to address for multiple reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other issues related to BYOD adoption that IT leaders report being concerned about include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n BYOD is a major contributor to the security challenges IT leaders face. According to Verizon\u2019s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report<\/a>, lost and stolen devices are behind a growing number of confirmed data breaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prey<\/a> reports that people are most likely to lose their devices in locations they feel are secure \u2014 like their home, office, or car. In fact, you are six times more likely to be pickpocketed at work than in a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These risks aren\u2019t limited to rank-and-file employees, either. According to Agency<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enabling employees to use their own devices at work can result in significant productivity gains<\/a>. When paired with robust device management<\/a> policies and technological capabilities, BYOD can help employees achieve more and feel better about their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Cybersecurity Insiders<\/a>: Samsung<\/a> reports the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the data suggests that BYOD policies will continue to play a growing role in enterprise IT infrastructure in the future. Organizations that enable employees to use their personal devices will enjoy productivity gains that give them a competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBYOD Statistics \u2013 Editor\u2019s Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
