That was my thought when I started a set of blog posts describing the new computing trends in a simple way. Here is another trend that I would like to simplify – Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/difficult-made-simple-byod/)

The fact is that until Acronis Backup & Recovery for vCloud came along, no solutions existed that would allow tenants to backup and recover their virtual machines on their own, with self-service, without manual operations from vCloud administrators.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/real-self-service-backup-vcloud/)

In the not-so-distant past, company information, files and data were confined to the four walls of the organization. After 5 p.m., and on weekends and holidays, this information was largely inaccessible to the average employee. Now, the availability of company data is seen in an entirely different light, with employees accessing files from three or four different devices any day of the week.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/beyond-mdm-and-mfm-whats-next-byod/)

And, according to our 2013 Data Protection Trends Research, it seems to be the attitude many IT professionals have taken towards the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/byod-best-or-worst-thing-thats-happened-channel-market/)

But, right now, a lot of companies are struggling with these bring-your-own-device (BYOD) habits. Our 2013 Data Protection Trends Research, which surveyed more than 4,300 IT professionals around the world, found that nearly 60 percent of companies don’t have BYOD policies in place. This can certainly present security issues and risks for data leakage, but BYOD trends also encourage something else: bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC).](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/when-managing-byod-companies-shouldnt-forget-about-byoc/)

But along with the benefits, bring your own device (BYOD) opens the door to risks, including security vulnerabilities, data leakage, compliance and potential liability issues.The magnitude of the problem is big, considering millions of these devices are lost, stolen or misplaced every year (120 thousand phones were lost in Chicago taxi cabs alone last year…).](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/simple-steps-network-security-device-passwords-and-key-locks/)

As employees increasingly use personal devices like smartphones, tablets and Mac® computers in the workplace, they may unknowingly be putting company data at risk without the proper BYOD policies and training. And, while these data protection issues and concerns aren’t new, companies are surprisingly still in the very early stages of protecting mobile data.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-launches-2013-data-protection-trends-research/)

But, the MDM market is still evolving at a feverish pace. Just take a look at the average employee’s bring-your-own-device (BYOD) habits. Smartphones, tablets and laptops are all part of one big mix during the work day. Thanks to the growth and of mobile devices and the emergence of more mobility apps the needs of the mobile enterprise and their users is quickly evolving from being device-centric to being data-centric.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/byod-balancing-act/)

In an effort to lower licensing costs by introducing competition for their hypervisor footprint, many organizations may be unwittingly taking on the potential burden of added infrastructure management, higher costs and increased backup complexity of their virtualized environment. On the other hand, if data centers had the ability to transparently migrate data from one hypervisor to another, many of these issues would be eliminated. As a result, any-to-any hypervisor recovery is becoming a critical requirement for data centers looking to drive down costs and increase flexibility.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/any-any-hypervisor-image-recovery/)

But, the recent boom in mobile technology – along with dramatic improvements in VDI – has changed the landscape a bit. With BYOD becoming more prevalent, some are pushing VDI as a solution to access their work “computer” from any device and any location.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-vdi-solutions-are-overlooking-byod-world/)

With 81 percent of employees bringing personal devices into the workplace, it is no secret that the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon has set up shop in the corner office of the enterprise. And, with 60 percent of physicians using their mobile phone in the workplace on a daily basis, BYOD has clearly already checked itself into the healthcare industry, as well.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/whats-your-byod-prescription/)

The article outlined the government's alleged monitoring of communications at the largest Internet providers (seemingly with the help of these providers). This list of Internet providers includes Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL, and Apple. Now, I want to point out that these are all allegations and that none of this has been verified yet. However, it certainly raises a lot of questions. I wanted to hone in one of the areas that I took note of. There was a mention in this report of other providers the government wanted to monitor, including Dropbox. This again exposes some of the risks that are faced not only by consumers using Dropbox (and similar services) but also the exposure that enterprises and enterprise users face when using these types of services. Many enterprises turn a blind eye towards a lot of this use but it represents a serious risk and raises many questions:](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/prism-exposes-enterprise-risks/)
