BYOD: Like driving a car
As companies start to develop BYOD policies, its important to keep the security considerations of BYOD in mind and determine early on how to manage them. As a Symantec employee focused on mobile security and management, I like to tell people that the concerns surrounding BYOD are a lot like those involved with driving a car. Are there potential hazards involved with both? Yes. But can those hazards be avoided? Of course! In both cases, preparing for the various hazards by being properly equipped with appropriate protections and tools is necessary. We recently acquired Nukona, which makes mobile application management, or MAM, technology. This is a great BYOD accident avoidance solution.
