An article by Susan Ross appearing on law.com on the Law Technology News webpage.
The article points out concerns regarding BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, including stating, "
The tug-of-war between convenient data access and prudent security has been going on for a long time, even on standard company-owned devices. Adding BYOD to the convenient access side of the rope might send the prudent security team tumbling to defeat.
That smartphone in your pocket (or sitting on the counter at Starbucks tempting fleet-footed thieves while you fumble for your credit card) probably offers easy access to your work email and thousands of attached files on your Microsoft Exchange server. It and the other devices you use on your home network and elsewhere may store work files the same way they store personal pictures, home movies, and other files. Should you ever be subjected to e-discovery, all of those files — not just the text or instant messages in which you discussed the merger and should have been a little more discreet, but also Aunt Pauline's recipe for zucchini bread — will be an open book. And you may have to give up the device itself for a while so that it can be examined or imaged."
