What does the "O" stand for?
Have I missed the point of BYOD? I was under the impression it was where employees use their own devices to interact with company systems.
Sorry Mary, I may have misunderstood where you're coming from, but it seems the list in this article is more about standard BAU issue of company devices.
So, for example, in the "ruggedised" point where he warehouse worker drops his iPhone. Bad luck. It's his iPhone.
If the company I worked for tried to patch my BYOD tablet, I wouldn't be working there. Or more likely, I wouldn't declare that I had one.
Regarding lost devices and data ownership - and to a degree apps - the "simple" solution is not to store any data on employee's BYOD toys. All company systems that you want to have used on BOYD devices should be accessed via the web and never reside anywhere but the company's servers. Employee loses their phone, or leaves the company, no problem with data.
