The group tackles the concept of Bring Your Own Device, which has been defined as “an approach to end-user computing that involves the support—and encouragement—of an organization’s end users accessing key managed IT resources on their own personal devices.”

Cody Gerhardt speaks for many in the group when he observes, "I go back to a very simple statement we often make: Every IT decision is a security decision. So when you look at a device that’s BYOD, and it likely doesn't have some of the security rigor that a commercial device has, there’s a higher chance of that system being attacked and data being lost. And if you can’t protect it, control it, manage it, and update it, it's not a wise decision.”
