I would say that BYOD is going to creep up to the top of the list sooner than laters for the following reasons.
1) Lack of security specifications and hardening on users devices. ( Android and IOS have many flaws some we are just finding out about) (Just look at jailbreakme.com. 2) Security solutions like ( Mobile-Iron and others) will help mitigate but not totally reduce issues with endpoint devices to an acceptable level. 3) Again these BYOD devices, are more likely and easily stolen or misplaced as compared to corporate devices ( laptop) these days ( abiet, yes laptops are still getting stolen, but usually they are fully encrypted, so going to be hard to get any information of value off them for a while, note: I didn't say impossible) Z Edward E.

Listening to Management tell you that security is inconvenience to the end users and keep it as simple as possible. 2. All new users being created with a generic password. 3. Letting users run as Admins (see #1) 4. Letting users BYOD with absolutely no policies in place to control them 5.

Hi Guys, Yes, that was on purpose. In your opinion, what are the most gruesome errors a system admin can make which will result in getting their network hacked? Just jot down a few and reply to the list, I will tabulate and come up with the 7 most mentioned sorted by importance. This should be fun. Have at it !!
