Ask 100 people their biggest concern around BYOD and you’ll get 100 different answers. How do we keep the corporate and personal data separate? How do we protect the network? How do we secure devices we don’t own? Are users happy using a browser or will they want “native apps” for their device? How does wireless access by smartphones, tablets, laptops and more change how we provide secure high availability? There are many strategies and many products to enable them, how do we choose? In this session we’ll begin by constructing a model for all of the areas of concern and then focus on how to best address each one. Identify and innovate your own selection of BYOD-focused services to sell to your customers and further cement your trusted technology advisory role with them.
