Employees continue to connect their personal mobile devices to corporate networks, and with this follows new behavior. More and more, employees are walking away from their PCs and laptops and huddling around smaller personal devices to collaborate and connect at work. Because of this migration toward mobile devices, mobile threats are accelerating much faster than PC-related ones. Malicious Android apps are the primary concern, as these threats are increasing exponentially.

Per Infonetics Research, 85 percent of medium to large companies are aware of and accept BYOD trends. However, most companies have an unstructured plan at best to harness and empower the new BYOD culture. More...

Yes, BYOD is the universally recognized acronym among techies, for Bring Your Own Device to work. But what does that mean?

We didn't find out about a white paper on Bring Your Own Device Security until after we had written our post about the new Sprint Device Management addition to the Professional Mobility Services portfolio, but it has some interesting data that complements what we had to say.

The white paper, available at Webtorials (registration is no longer required), is based on a survey of more than 500 IT professionals – 60 percent of whom represent enterprises. We would have loved to have had the results of this survey broken out by size of organization, so we could focus on the enterprise responses, but with that high a percentage of enterprise respondents, the results probably provide a reasonably good picture of the enterprise BYOD security landscape.

As I was thinking about Mobile Device Management this morning, I was asking myself what the appropriate term was for technology that allows an enterprise to erase its data from an employee’s (or former employee’s) personal device.
