What is BYOD? (Bring your own Device)? - Acronis
BYOD is an acronym for “Bring Your Own Device.” It is a growing industry trend where an employee uses their own personal devices – computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. – to connect to the company network and perform company work instead of using a company-issued device.
