A BYOD policy can eliminate a lot of the problems associated with bring your own device programs. Learn best practices for creating a BYOD policy.

“When I talk to colleagues in Finland, they say, how do you filter?” said Jim Klein, director of Information Services and Technology at the Saugus Union School District in Southern California.
“They say, our kids’ filters are in their heads.
You do this by giving them a safe environment to educate themselves instead of sticking your head in the sand and pretending these technologies don’t exist.”

While this seems to be a struggle for some educational institutions, the policies not only have to be re-written, but the re-write must embrace and not negate the use of technology.

BYOD is now being trialed at a U.S. school as a pilot program.
Bring your own device (BYOD) schemes remain contentious in both educational and business networks.
In schools, who pays for theft, loss or damage? Can schools force parents to pay for devices as well as the yearly bill of school uniform and text books?

The explosion in development and adoption of smartphones and tablets for both personal and business use in the past two years is both a blessing and a curse to IT departments globally.
Known as the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon, on one hand, there is an opportunity for greatly increased productivity and decreased costs.
===> On the other, there are increased security risks, management issues and even data and device ownership and governance issues. <===

Ignorance, as those in IT security know, is not bliss.
And, two new studies when viewed together show that consumer ignorance of the consequences of their actions coupled with enterprises' unawareness of their computing environment equal unacceptable risk.
===> Many organizations unduly place themselves at risk by allowing access to their computers by mobile devices used by employees who download apps without understanding their consequences. That doesn't seems like a smart information risk management policy; actually, it doesn't seem like a policy at all. <===

As ESET's BYOD Infographic shows, BYOD is no LOL matter, bringing with it some serious risks to company networks and data. Based on an ESET Harris Interactive survey.
Another BYOD risk factor is the practice of letting someone else use the device. This could be "just" a family member or friend but it introduces the possibility of that person gaining access to the company network or sensitive company data stored on the device.
===> Furthermore, if this "other person" is not trained in safe computing practices there is a serious risk of them getting the device infected or compromised. <===

Network Security and More
“Nowadays, you have to have a layer past the firewall that we didn’t have to deal with when we simply said no to user-owned devices,” he says. “Now all of a sudden, you have multiple points of entry at different levels of access, and that requires more diligence.” One key to maintaining adequate security, Knezek and other experts say, is to have multiple networks: one for Wi-Fi traffic, one for district business and for other secure information for teachers and administrators only, and one for students and outside users of the district’s Web site.

Employees are increasingly using (and demanding to use) their personal devices to store and process their employer's data, and connect to their network...
Even if cost-savings is not the goal, most companies believe that processing of company data on employee personal devices is inevitable and unavoidable. Unfortunately, BYOD raises significant data security and privacy concerns, which can lead to potential legal and liability risk.
Many companies are having to play catch-up to control these risks.
This blogpost identifies and explores some of the key privacy and security legal concerns associated with BYOD, including “reasonable” BYOD security, BYOD privacy implications, and security and privacy issues related to BYOD incident response and investigations.
