SECURITY
The Third Most Important
Concern for IT Managers.
Well implemented security policies reduce laptop
theft by 85%.
Common sense policies combined with an office culture that
fosters and expects lock usage can be quickly
implemented.
Just like taking the stairs rather than the lift or switching off the
lights, we encourage IT departments to set the
example for other departments to follow, so the use of locks be-
comes second nature.

BYOD
Their Device, Still An IT Problem.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) brings with it not only a
long list of positive attributes but also a set of daunting
security challenges.
It’s probable that employees will still turn to IT to resolve the
issues resulting from their lost laptops and to keep them
productive while they await replacements. It therefore makes
sense that IT policies ensure that users are protecting their
devices, wherever they may be working.
Forward-thinking IT organisations spell out the rules to
“
BYOD participants up front around data security and the
risk they assume when using a personal device for work.
