As convenient as BYOD is, one issue stubbornly persists; that is the issue of privacy and security of data.
A recent Harris Poll survey, commissioned by MobileIron queried over 3,500 mobile workers from all over the world.
Only 61% of them feel that their employers are keeping their personal data private.  
About half of those 
surveyed indicated that they would not be comfortable if their employers
 were able to see their personal emails, contacts and text messages.  
Finally, if their employers were able to access their personal records, 30% would leave.
As might be expected, 
younger workers were less concerned about personal data being accessed 
than older workers. Interested in learning more? You can read more about

Why is this important 
for IT and Telecom managers? As you know, data security has a lot of 
legs to it. While keeping mobile phone data intact and secure within 
your four walls is important, you will need to make an extra effort to 
ensure you are addressing the challenge of keeping data personal as 
well.
BYOD is here and, by all
 appearances, here to stay. Getting on top of how you deploy, manage and
 control BYOD is essential. How do you plan to tackle the enormous issue
 of personal mobile privacy? Or have you already got it covered? Let us 
know.
