Every day an article about BYOD is posted. More or less the topic is always the same: “BYOD and companies security plans“, “BYOD and internal security”, “BYOD, to do or not”…

What I found that is really missing in this plethora of posts is someone talking about “BYOD and working hours”.

My question is: how can I deal with BYOD and working hours? There’re a few of questions I have but the main one is how will be regulated using personal device when illustrious nations like Germany and France, choose not to permit using email out of working hours?

Maybe my question could seems not so clear but if you try to match the first problem (BYOD), with the question, I guess that anything will becomes crystal clear.

 “No I didn’t. Honest… I ran out of gas! I–I had a flat tire! I didn’t have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!”

This is probably one of the most famous quotation of this movie and it represent for me, the drama someone could live during a disaster recovery activity.

This maybe could happen if you won’t plan your DR, properly.

More than a couple of months ago, all security an network engineers, has been involved with the Heartbleed’ Bug. A huge number of applications and appliances was affected by this bug. In the immediate, everyone was rushing and checking their stuff for the bug’s presence and the available patch.
Few weeks later, the situation seems to be not that better, and there may actually be a lot more servers “bugged” because the count applies only to already verified cases.

I’m talking about this well known issue, because of this other document. You can read in it (the pagination is not quite good with some missing information in some slides), some forecast expenses for next year.

Fortunately IT expense to support business growth (expecially, IT security), is present (in almost all the forecast expense in the document), even if a real risk plan is still missing (for the most of the companies).
