Forrester Just Retired Endpoint Security. Here’s What That Means for BYOD
In February 2026, Forrester announced it was retiring The Forrester Wave™: Endpoint Security – a market evaluation it had published under various names for over a decade.

How to Manage Contractor Devices Securely Without Full MDM Control
Contractors won’t accept full MDM control of their personal devices — and honestly, they shouldn’t have to. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. It means MDM is the wrong tool for the job.

What the Stryker Attack Reveals About BYOD Security
The cyberattack disclosed by Stryker on March 11, 2026 is a reminder that some of the most significant endpoint risks do not begin with malware executing on the device itself.

BYOD is now a standard part of modern work. Employees, contractors, consultants, and offshore teams all need fast access to work apps and data from personal laptops and phones.
