        <description><![CDATA[When personally owned devices are used for company business, is the company responsible for insuring the device, repairing it or replacing it if it gets lost or stolen even if it is used for company business?The argument, of course, is that it is then up to the user to look after their own device and, in the long term, it will be cheaper for the company as it doesn't have to provide the hardware itself. Naturally, though, IT will have to hand-hold the users and field any connectivity or accessibility issues on not just a standard set of corporately approved devices but on every mobile device known to humankind!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Our BYOD remains unchanged...NO. Only company resources can be connected to the network. This has been the policy for years. It applies to laptops, desktops, and now the various mobile devices. Feel free to access our web applications, but don't even attempt to connect to the network. Since we're a govt contractor, the reasons are pretty obvious.I don't understand the whole BYOD movement to begin with. Seems foolish. Do you bring in your own desk and chair, office supplies, and furniture for the lobby? Not likely. Why on earth would you provide your own IT when you're not being compensated for it? If you can't do your job with the tools you are provided then you need to bring it up to your management, not prop up the company out of your own pocket. Are you that desperate to be cool? Wait, I think the current term is &quot;hip&quot;. (Wasn't that the word used in the 50s?)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[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.Spencer ParkinsonSymantec]]></description>
