Also, besides the security concerns, another most significant factor is the IT support concerns. Many IT professional cannot manage all their employees’ devices. Also, they cannot control everything the employees doing while they are on the company’s network. It is crucial to weight both the positive and negative before deciding to adopt the BYOD.

Those electronic devices can be offered to the employees who work remotely. Any electronic devices that will be using in the company should belong to the company. Those devices should be monitored or tracked all the times and have all the security control in place. Employees should not be allowed to use their own devices to download their companies’ data or to do their companies’ works. Also, companies’ network should be secured using WPA2 security with AES encryption. This is the most secure option. Also, companies may use a network protocol analyzer which is a tool such as software or hardware used to capture and analyze signals and data traffics over a communication channel. One best tool that companies may use is Wireshark. It will help the network administrator to monitor every activity that is being performed on the company’s
