00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,430
- [Omar] Let's go over
what is BYOD, right?

2
00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:13,817
So BYOD stands for bring your own device.

3
00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:17,837
And basically what it is is actually,

4
00:00:17,837 --> 00:00:20,024
it's the ability to give your employees

5
00:00:20,024 --> 00:00:23,030
to be able to actually work from anywhere

6
00:00:23,030 --> 00:00:24,540
and work with anything, right?

7
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:28,600
So they can bring their own laptop,

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,050
or your own tablet, mobile
device, and everything,

9
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:33,400
and be more productive, right?

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,290
So this also reduce the
cost of an organization

11
00:00:37,290 --> 00:00:39,340
of actually providing those devices

12
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,219
and managing those devices, right?

13
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:45,020
So many organizations have
actually reduced the cost

14
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:49,280
of operations by actually
allowing the employees

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,070
to be able to actually
bring their tablet, right,

16
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:54,070
to a meeting room, and then
be more productive, right?

17
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:57,110
Also increases collaboration
among people, right?

18
00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:00,510
So, again, this is actually
something that perhaps,

19
00:01:00,510 --> 00:01:02,572
you know, not a lot of companies
are actually going back

20
00:01:02,572 --> 00:01:05,110
and restricting that access.

21
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:06,910
You know, it all depends
on your environment

22
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:07,980
and your corporate policy, right?

23
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:09,910
But that's one of the things, actually,

24
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:12,653
we have been seeing for the
last, you know, decade or so

25
00:01:12,653 --> 00:01:15,384
of more companies actually
allowing their users

26
00:01:15,384 --> 00:01:17,460
to bring their own device.

27
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:21,190
Now that, of course, increase
the risk of, you know,

28
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:23,907
security, your security risk,
and your security posture.

29
00:01:23,907 --> 00:01:24,740
Why?

30
00:01:24,740 --> 00:01:27,680
Because that tablet, or
that phone, you know,

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,290
may actually have malware
that may infect other systems,

32
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:33,740
let's say a server in your data center,

33
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:35,870
or actually other users, right,

34
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:39,070
that are using desktop
machines that, perhaps,

35
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:41,730
you're actually, you know,
managing in your network, right?

36
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:44,460
So we actually gonna
be covering what is MDM

37
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:48,285
in a a different lesson, mobile
device management, right?

38
00:01:48,285 --> 00:01:51,363
But you know this is actually
one of the main predicaments

39
00:01:51,363 --> 00:01:53,890
of cybersecurity nowadays

40
00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:57,120
of actually allowing
employees actually bringing

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680
those devices that perhaps
actually they don't go

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,280
and patch those devices.

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,230
So there's a lot of solutions, of course,

44
00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:05,740
in the industry to help
mitigate that risk.

45
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:09,153
But it's definitely a risk
nowadays in any corporation.
