App

​The practice of employees, contractors and other people working in your organization using their own laptop computers, mobile devices and portable storage in their work is known as ‘Bring Your Own Device’ or BYoD. ​ It is a practice which can have both positive and negative implications for both the organization and the employee – whether the device is brought into the workplace or used remotely.​ However much you trust the people who work for or with you, personal devices pose one of the highest risks to any organization's information security.​

​The number of electrical and electronic items in your home that can be monitored and controlled via your Wi-Fi is growing all the time. These range from security systems and cameras and dimmable lightbulbs to your children’s smart toys. It is even possible to buy a refrigerator which tells you when you need to stock up on food. These products are normally linked to their own app on your smartphone or tablet, but also increasingly popular are smart TVs which are linked to the internet, and smart speakers via which you can control household functions including ordering online with a simple voice command.
