BYOD: Problem in the reality is smaller than it seems!
Companies nowadays wrestle with the decision of whether to give employees the freedom to use personal mobile devices to access corporate data, or issue secure, mobile devices.
The main issue of the BYOD concept is to deal with corporate control and user privacy and usually at the end of the day this concept can cost to the company more than buying corporate-owned mobile devices. You also have to deal with different OS versions, installed applications, rooted devices, etc. They are some great MDM out there, but no one can deal with the diversity world of mobile devices.
BYOD, Corporate-Owned or Hybrid Environments? That depends of the “type” of business you do, but the best way to start is to limit the access to the resources from mobile devices to those who they really need them. In this way at the end of the day you will find out, that the problem in the reality is smaller than it seem at the moment.
