**Mt. Pleasant, S.C. – **February 13, 2013 – "7 Steps to a Sensible BYOD Strategy: So You Can Sleep at Night" is officially available for download on eGroup's Blog.

"7 Steps to a Sensible BYOD Strategy: So You Can Sleep at Night" was written for business and IT leaders struggling with the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon and how to properly manage the influx of devices and end-user requests for support.

These days, business and IT leaders wake up in a world where one-third of young employees use three different devices. And there's a gang of monsters hiding under the bed:

* The torment of lost devices bearing mission-critical data

* The specter of 8,000 new types of mobile malware found in the first three months of 2012

* The ghost of hidden costs

* The stress of out-of-control device-support demands

* The threat of legal and compliance issues

Yet most business and IT leaders aren't disputing the business case for BYOD.

"7 Steps to a Sensible BYOD Strategy: So You Can Sleep at Night" details seven practical steps leaders can implement immediately so that they are seen as driving the process, as opposed to reacting. The following steps, detailed in the eBook, will help leaders develop a BYOD approach that will let them sleep soundly at night:

Step 1: Confront the monsters

Step 2: Start with a security audit

Step 3: Think beyond the desktop

Step 4: Don't foot the whole bill for BYOD

Step 5: Involve your employees

Step 6: Devote time to policy development

Step 7: Educate everyone
