We’re well into the era of “hybrid,” where many tech and office jobs are managed from the comfort of our employees’ homes alongside elective trips to the office. This approach to work is often much more convenient and flexible than on-site work (when possible), but it introduces its own set of challenges, specifically around security. Hybrid work encourages a “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) system, which makes managing security and compliance much harder. Federal security requirements impose strict cybersecurity measures on remote devices and network access, creating unique challenges for bringing your own adoption in compliance-driven environments.

This article discusses the intersection of BYOD practices and federal cybersecurity frameworks, addresses the challenges, and proposes actionable solutions.
