Unlike bring-your-own-device (BYOD) -- a term generally used to describe self-owned mobile devices -- CYOIT encompasses a broader range of tools that workers use to do their jobs."

Webb The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has increased employee teleworking and telecommuting. As a result, an increased amount of business is now conducted over the internet. This change brings significant risk to employers' doorsteps. In 2019, prior to the pandemic, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) averaged 1,300 complaints daily from individuals and businesses regarding internet enabled crimes and scams. The FBI reported that businesses and individuals lost more than $3.5 billion through cybercrimes. According to the FBI, most complaints involved phishing and other scams, as well as extortion carried out through email.
