The bring your own device (BYOD) doctrine is bringing with it a lot of changes to the corporate landscape, from new potential benefits to businesses to new potential hazards. While some of the risks may be remote, and some of the rewards tough to measure, there's still quite a bit of value going on in here, and that's got businesses taking a closer look at outfitting employees with employees' own devices. But getting the most out of a BYOD program, as discovered by Mobile Commerce Press writer Dana Hudson, can be tricky, but easier when three key points are considered.

It's the kind of thing that can happen to anyone, but when it does, it may well destroy an entire business by making available secured data to anyone who gets hands on the device. But with standard protection measures like GPS tracking and remote wiping systems, these issues can be deeply mitigated, even potentially removed as problems altogether with sufficient vigilance. Second, a device policy for the entire company is worth considering, as standardizing devices can be helpful to IT departments by reducing the number of potential issues that can crop up since just one kind of device is actually used.
