What is Choose Your Own Device?
Choose Your Own Device or CYOD is similar to Bring Your Own Device(BYOD) but differs in that CYOD allows employees to choose from a selection of pre approved company mobile devices. This enables IT departments to gain greater control over data and network security whilst ensuring reliability and durability as well as compatibility with existing solutions.
The downside of CYOD is that it is more expensive for the company and more often than not, the company devices are not updated as frequently as private devices or indeed to the apps installed on the devices, meaning that it can happen that compatibility is only guarenteed in the short-term.
