BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is the new phenomenon spreading across the world. Workers are more and more often  using their personal devices such as smartphones and laptops for attaching to corporate networks. According to Virgin Media Business reaserch it is increasingly common practice. In 2012  51% of corporate networks in UK have already been compromised  by this practice. Smaller companies are particularly vulnerable for those kind of threats.
 
"With sales of tablets expected to have gone through the roof over Christmas, it looks like personal devices in the workplace is here to stay, " -  said Tony Grace COO of Virgin Media Bussines. "But with just a fifth of large firms having a BYOD policy, businesses will continue to experience security breaches until connectivity, security and user policies are put in place."
 
"The expansion of the BYOD practice, visible also in CEE region, should put pressure on those responsible for corporate networks to  professionaly secure them with SSL certificates" - said Marcin Majerek from SSLGuru.
