Case Scenario
You are a cybersecurity analyst, and your organization has noticed a new trend. More and more employees are bringing their personal devices to work and connecting them to the company's Wi-Fi. The security team has recognized this as an issue and has decided to create a new segmented network for employees to use for their personal devices. This is a more secure solution because it separates data traffic for personal use and allows the organization to encrypt the communication. This benefits both the employees who want to use their personal devices at work and the organization.
This change to the system includes two steps from two different teams. The IT team is going to build the isolated secure network for employees only, and the security team needs to update the bring your own device (BYOD) policy. Your manager has asked you to draft the update to this policy. Your requirement is to update the policy to reflect the changes in the system in response to this new initiative.
Prompt
Review your organization's BYOD policy in the Module Six Activity document linked in the Supporting Materials below. After reviewing the BYOD policy, write a response in which you describe a possible modification you would make to this policy to reflect the changes in the system from the scenario. Your response should also describe the impact that this policy update could have on organizational culture.
You must address the critical elements listed below.
Policy Update
Identify three of the most important policy statements from the BYOD policy and explain why they are essential to protecting the organization.
Describe a possible revision to the BYOD policy to meet the new requirement from the emerging workplace trend.
Organizational Impacts
Describe the impacts of this policy update on the organizational culture. For example, if you are aware that your use of personal devices on the company network is being monitored, would this change your behavior? Should it?
From a systems thinking approach, explain how this policy update may affect other organizational processes. For example, will the policy update affect the workflow of other employees?
