BYOD: This is a term that describes the users that will bring their own mobile device/tablet to the workplace. This is the inverse to where a company will purchase a device and provide it directly to the employees for business use on the corporate computing environment.
Jailbreak/Rooting: Jailbreaking a mobile device (phone/tablets) is a method of removing the software limitations that mobile device companies will place on specific devices. These limits normally are a part of an overall security method and should not be removed. Device Jailbreaking is never allowed by the company.
MDM: This stands for Mobile Device Management. The company uses the MDM software to help protect the security of the device as well as the security of the corporate software and data.
Corporate Owned Device: This is the inverse of a BYOD device. The corporation will own the device and provide it to the end user/employee (in some cases a vendor) for use during the time of employment and/or a specific project. The device must be returned to the company if the employee is terminated and/or the end of the specific project.
To enable a device for corporate access, complete the following steps:
Read the Mobile Device Acceptable Use Policy (present in this document).
Sign and date in the spaces following this section.
Return a copy of this signed document to the mobile device manager or your manager. Be sure you can print your name in the spaces following this section.
Your signature provides agreement to the following terms of this document/policy:
I have read and received a copy of the Mobile Device Acceptable Policy (present in this document).
I will only use the device for business requirements only (Company owned only).
I understand and agree that mobile devices will not be connected to corporate systems, computers, or networks without proper approvals.
If the device is employee-owned, then I understand and agree that the security and replacement of a device becomes my responsibility. If the device is corporate-owned, then the employee will work with the help desk to determine next steps and/or replacement processes. Also, the employee will call the help desk anytime the device may be compromised.
I understand and agree that any violation of this policy can result in termination of my employment and civil or criminal penalties.
I understand that the device can be removed from the corporate mobile system anytime.
