Melnik has hosted similar presentations about the legal and regulatory framework for mobile devices in the past, notably at the Michigan HIMSS Conference and the SecureWorld Expo in Detroit. But she is excited about what Aiello will add during this Online Tech-hosted event.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy past presentations have been basically from a legal standpoint. Steve brings a completely different view to the presentation,\u201d Melnik says. \u201cWe\u2019ll have significantly more insight into the technical problems of BYOD versus just the legal pitfalls and legal complications. If you are concerned about legal regulations, you also want to know the technology you can use to minimize those legal pitfalls, to minimize the risks and liabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe discussions I\u2019ve seen always lack that piece. Our goal is to give people practical solutions they can apply when they get off the call.\u201d<\/p>\n
The combined approach of the webinar results in two key intended takeaways: 1) Understanding the legal risks and the policy drafting requirements of BYOD, and 2) Implementing a BYOD policy in a way that is usable for employees while minimizing legal risk.<\/p>\n
