This includes data and information that could be potentially sensitive or confidential, so here are some tips to ensure you maximize the security!

One of the most common best practices listed in a BYOD policy is for users to have installed some kind of security software on their personal devices. This includes antivirus software, mobile device management (MDM) software, and unified endpoint management (UEM) software.

✔ Try not to leave your device unattended.
✔ Ensure someone is looking it after if you are briefly absent.
✔ Save your work on an external portable memory.
✔ Bring your device charger: AIBL will ensure to provide power points along all facilities in campus for your convenience.
