On the other hand, employees can use their personal devices for enterprise work without compromising their own privacy. In this scenario, devices are enrolled as BYOD by applying security policies to avoid data confliction and loss. In the case of BYOD, a work profile will be created on the employee’s device to allow them to use same device for both work and personal purposes. It ensures the users privacy as well as enterprise security, keeping enterprise data and applications separated from personal data and applications. The work profile is indicated by a suitcase symbol. Containerization and its benefits are available for BYOD.
