According to the text, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies:  

       BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) refers to the policy of allowing employees to supply their own computing devices for use at work. Employers save money by eliminating hardware purchasing and maintenance overhead, and employees enjoy the freedom of choice to use whichever mobile phone, tablet or laptop that best meets their preferences.

       For example, a user may have a Windows PC for work and a MacBook for a personal laptop. The keyboard shortcuts for each platform are slightly different, making it easy to mangle copy-paste functions in word processors and spreadsheets. Using the same BYOD MacBook for work and personal computing eliminates these switchover errors.              Even for non-SaaS organizations, user error typically represents a third of all data loss, second only to hardware failure. The reduction in user error gained from BYOD policies is present regardless of whether an employee is creating a document in Google Apps or Microsoft Word.

       There has yet been no rigorous study of the change in rates of user error before and after adopting BYOD policies. Nonetheless, it's safe to assume that some level of user error is reduced by familiarity and comfort with BYOD devices.

       BYOD can't make your data invulnerable, but combined with good security policies, regular user training and effective data backup, it can make a noticeable difference in the availability and integrity of your company data.
