The employee gets to use a device they already know and love, while the employer saves money from the cost of equipping that employee. That said, the security risks associated with BYOD can undermine an ill-prepared implementation and open the door to potential legal action.

We’re talking, of course, about the smart appliances, lights, thermostats, and so on, all of which make your office feel like you stepped into a sci-fi movie. As IT experts, it would be wrong for us to let you implement all these shiny new solutions without considering the security implications. Our question to you is this: are you willing to leave glaring security weaknesses in your infrastructure for the sake of being considered “high-tech?” We hope the answer is an emphatic “no.” Tags: [Security](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/security) [Technology](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/technology) [Network Security](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/network-security) [0 Comments](https://datalyst.net/blog/when-the-smart-office-creates-stupid-security-problems#comments) [ Continue reading](https://datalyst.net/blog/when-the-smart-office-creates-stupid-security-problems) [ ![Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.net/images/easyblog_avatar/808_808_blogauthor.png) ](https://datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) ## [Why Cyberattackers and Other Grifters are Obsessed With Cryptocurrency](https://datalyst.net/blog/why-cyberattackers-and-other-grifters-are-obsessed-with-cryptocurrency) Wednesday, 12 November 2025 [Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) [Datalyst Blog](https://datalyst.net/blog/categories/blog) [Security](https://datalyst.net/blog/categories/security) [ ![Why Cyberattackers and Other Grifters are Obsessed With Cryptocurrency](https://datalyst.net/images/easyblog_shared/November_2025/11-12-24/b2ap3_large_CyberattackCrypto_228139976_400.jpg) ](https://datalyst.net/blog/why-cyberattackers-and-other-grifters-are-obsessed-with-cryptocurrency "Why Cyberattackers and Other Grifters are Obsessed With Cryptocurrency") Cryptocurrency has brought about innovative new technology for use in the business world, but it’s also created more headaches, primarily due to ransomware.

The fact of the matter is that cyberattacks of all kinds are a constant threat to everyone, and could very well take your business out of commission unless you do something about it.

The damage that they can do—even in the first hours—is considerable. This means you need to have a strategy to respond to these incidents, conveniently called an incident response plan. This procedure should be both tested and documented, preparing you to withstand any cyberattack with minimal damage or disruption. As you might expect, the first hour or so will be a crucial period during this process. Let’s go over what you need to do.
