As well as a year-on-year increase of devices activated under the BYOD scheme, the data also reveals the diverse spread of devices now used by TfL staff. Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and HTC devices all feature, with over four times as many TfL staff using Apple’s iPhone as opposed to Android devices (70 Android devices versus 320 Apple iPhones). A mere 22 BlackBerry devices were reported, along with six “unknown” devices which were found to have connected to TfL’s network.
Chris Marrison, EMEA technical director, Infoblox said, “Personal mobiles and tablets are becoming ubiquitous in the workplace and IT directors will need to ensure that these devices can be used safely and securely on the network. Forward thinking organisations are already putting the necessary measures in place to enable improved productivity through BYOD initiatives, whilst safeguarding the organisation’s network from unauthorised access attempts which put data at risk.”
