We can also conclude that the companies tend to allow BYOD practices without properly securing the environment. For these reasons, there is room for the development of a tool that helps companies in adopting BYOD, protecting important and valuable company assets at the time it makes the employees aware of the security and data loss. \subsection{Other fields that have adopted BYOD} \label{subsec:byodother} -These advantages have made BYOD policies gain traction in the education sector with an increasing number of schools around the world choosing to implement their own BYOD policies.

In such environment, BYOD (also called Bring Your Own Technology) refers to a technology model that allows students to bring their own devices to school for learning in the classroom [\cite{sangani2013byod, song2014bring}]. The adoption of BYOD in schools is supported by the fact that technology plays a leading role in pupils/students' everyday lives and should, therefore, be an integral part of their learning. However, for most schools it is financially unsustainable to provide every student with the most appropriate up-to-date device. BYOD is therefore considered an attractive, cost-effective alternative, provided that many students usually own devices that are superior and more up-to-date than those available in schools. BYOD at schools has several benefits as well such as personalising learning experiences, encouraging students' independent learning, and promoting anytime, anywhere learning opportunities.
