With the growth in the use of mobile smart devices when accessing data on a 
network a new expression (BYOD) or Bring Your Own Device has emerged.
The concept of allowing a guest or staff members have access to your business network and data through their own device leads to serious security questions.
To assist in managing your business BYOD policy we have listed 5 free security apps below.
