When you think about Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), does it send shivers up and down your spine?

If you answered "no" - great! Sounds like you have everything under control.

If you answered, "yes" - you're not alone.

These days, business and IT leadership wake up in a world where one-third of young employees use three different devices. For many, it's a nightmare because there’s a gang of monsters hiding under the bed:
<ul>
	<li>The torment of lost devices bearing mission-critical data;</li>
	<li>The specter of 8,000 new types of mobile malware found in the first three months of 2012;</li>
	<li>The ghost of hidden costs;</li>
	<li>The stress of out-of-control device-support demands;</li>
	<li>The threat of legal and compliance issues.</li>
</ul>
No wonder 73% of UK IT directors surveyed said they are concerned BYOD will cause IT costs to "spiral out of control." Their fears are supported by Aberdeen Group’s finding that a company with 1,000 mobile devices spends an extra $170,000 per year, on average, when it uses a BYOD approach.

Yet, most IT leaders aren’t disputing the business case for BYOD.
