Gust MEES's insight:
===> An educated user is a safer user. <===
Most of them apply also to schools...
A very important point, with most people don't apply BUT which is necessary, a MUST is:
Educate your users - "The second most important BYOD security defense: user awareness, ...it might be the most important non-hardware, non-software solution available. An informed user is a user who behaves more responsibly and takes fewer risks with valuable company data, including email."

Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) bedeutet, dass der Zugriff auf die Unternehmensdaten und -Programme mittels der eigenen mobilen Endgeräten, also Smartphones und Tablets, erfolgt. Glaubt man Marktforschern, ist BYOD äußerst trendy – aber offensichtlich nur bei einer sehr kleinen Mitarbeitergruppe.

Symantec helps consumers and organizations secure and manage their information-driven world.
The ISTR, which covers the major threat trends observed by Symantec in 2012, reveals that cybercriminals view SMBs as a prime target for stealing information. In fact, the largest growth area for targeted attacks in 2012 was businesses with fewer than 250 employees; 31 percent of all attacks targeted them, representing a threefold increase from 2011.
Getting a clear understanding of the dangers is an important step in improving security, and this year’s report is a wake-up call that SMBs are now being specifically targeted by cybercriminals.

A new joint study from KnowBe4 and ITIC (Information Technology Intelligence Consulting) has revealed that nearly three quarters of businesses which approve of BYOD have nothing specific in place to ensure security.
Specifically, 71% of BYOD-friendly corporations polled had no specific procedures in place to support BYOD development, which is an extremely worrying statistic.
The research, which surveyed 550 companies globally throughout July and August, was described as a “wake-up call” by ITIC principal analyst Laura DiDio.
Research from connectivity experts iPass revealed a similar opacity with enterprise device responsibility, noting at the time: “A balance needs to be found between issuing IT-controlled smartphones and letting a certain subset of employees own the responsibility for their own devices”.

There are 50,538 smartphones and tablets in use at Cisco, which has 71,825 employees. Not only does that already comprise a ratio of one device per 1.4 employees, said Lance Perry, vice-president of IT customer strategy and success for Cisco, during an excellent presentation at the Consumerization of IT in the Enterprise (CITE) conference in San Francisco on Monday. But the 50,000+ device figure is also an increase of 52% from just 12 months earlier.
