Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) has emerged as an institution in corporate America today - but does the acronym stand for bring your own device or bring your own disaster?
McAfee's "2013 Threats Predictions" report also said that hacktivist group Anonymous would decline in success and visibility, with more extremist groups carrying the torch.
As employees use more consumer-grade applications and access more corporate data from unmanaged mobile devices, the network perimeter continues to disappear - along with IT's ability to enforce appropriate security controls.
BYOD has empowered the modern workforce, improved productivity and allowed companies to deliver better services to customers and partners. Forrester sees a continuation of this trend into 2013 and beyond.
