There are 3 Main Mobile Device Deployment Models

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

• Employees use personal devices for work
• Cost-effective for employers
• Drawbacks include reduced control over security and device management

COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled)

• The company provides devices for employees
• Greater control over security and standards
• Higher initial investment
• Employees may have privacy concerns or need to carry two devices

CYOD (Choose Your Own Device)

• Employees select devices from a company-approved list
• Balance between employee choice and organizational control
• Similar drawbacks to COPE in terms of initial cost and potential privacy concerns

Selecting the Right Model

• Consider the specific needs, budget constraints, and risk appetite of your organization
• Analyze costs, security, and employee satisfaction
  • BYOD may have hidden costs for security and compatibility
  • COPE offers more control over devices and supports MDM
  • CYOD provides a balance between flexibility and control
