Bring your own device – An Infosec issue ?
I have been thinking about the Bring Your own Device ( BYod) issue for quite some time now, indeed I am even speaking at a conference in the near future on this very topic. The same question keeps popping up in my mind but seems to be ignored by most of the infosec media, is BYoD an infosec issue ? Certainly of you read the media they will tell you that it is with big fines being leveled ( maybe) for lost or stolen devices and huge security issues if your employees are are allowed to used their own kit.

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-01-16
- got unwanted mail from talent.me, hit the unsubscribe link, and you need to log into facebook…. but I dont have a FB account so cant login #
- Why do companies still believe that their #infosec #policies are confidential ? if you want people to follow them they must be able to see #
- earlier tweet re #facebook got me thinking, as I have never had a FB account, I wonder what info they have on me ?someone gave them my email #
- I did an infosec strategy session with some non infosec people the other day.. really useful to discuss sec strategy with non infosec peeps #
- they start to ask questions like "why?" and if you cant really answer then it might be time to modify direction – very refreshing #toptip #
- and to quote #Einstein "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." – or are just plain incorrect #
- you have to wonder when someone follows 30k+ people on twitter how much they actually read of the people they follow #
- why do people still believe that there is a difference between a smartphone and a PC ? from an infosec POV they are the same #forgettheHW #
- As a follow up to yesterday re #cloud notice that most cloud providers will not let you #audit you have to base the sec process on trust #
- Like many infosec people I implicitly trust 1 person, and I see him each and every morning in the bathroom mirror when I have a shave #
- by the way, if your presentation has an agenda slide at the beginning, hide it… please ? I will find out soon enough what the ppt is about #
- having been round the Mclaren factory,I can confirm that its as good as it looks on the TV.Absolutely spectacular place http://t.co/UGqHenpZ #
- by the way for all the negativity about #cloud it is the future. we will think local DC's quaint and old fashioned in a few years #infosec #
- driving in France ? soom you will need to carrry a breathalizer kit as well as the warning triangle etc http://t.co/BDGZCTUJ #strange #
- spoke to a user today who was *convinced* that using a #mac made you invulnerable to #viruses and #malware Steve what have you done ? #
- reading stories like this https://t.co/sTQAPmPy makes me realise the good that #microsoft is doing for #infosec – long may it continue #
- do we really think that the public sector has that many more data breaches than the private sector ? the ICO needs to swap its focus #
- if you need a quick visio alike diagram but dont have visio I can reccomend Gliffy – does what it says on the tin http://t.co/Ku8af665 #
- Who owns the mobile update issue ? http://t.co/uhwfsLmL #in #
