Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) schemes are on the increase as a new survey reveals 90 per cent of Australian CIOs are aware that their employees are using their personal devices in the workplace.

Bring Your Own Technology, or BYOT, can strike fear in the hearts of CIOs and security officers, who are split on whether the concept is an urban legend or the wave of the future. Regardless, the CIOs I've spoken with say it has not yet become a standard question that applicants ask.
