One of the biggest challenges in mobility is the ability to clearly separate business data from personal data.
With BYOD, IT managers are required to tread the fine line between protecting company data and infringing on user privacy.
One common approach is through the use of encrypted wrappers and app containers but there is often still a requirement to use local data storage and therefore isn't as secure as many people believe.
Where possible there will be no data that resides locally on the device and closer integration between apps and the cloud will make this a more feasible option.
The virtualization technology market is already crowded and an increase in demand for services will soon sort the players from the contenders.
Cloud solutions driven through virtualization will become a more popular solution however isn't the only option for BYOD data security.
You should understand all the risks before implementing a policy and selecting a mobile device management platform and if virtualization is the answer for your business then you will be comfortable that you have addressed all of the important security requirements.
