At the same time, the BYOD brings the hidden trouble to become the IT department needs to face the enterprise unbearable pain.

Can not afford one: data is an important asset of the enterprise, how to protect data security?

Business, travel has made some employees of the enterprise first experience the convenience of mobile work. Outside the office or use debris time to send and receive mail, log in to the Enterprise document library downloads the relevant information, inquires the examination and approval document to enhance the efficiency while also lets the enterprise data expose in the public network. Mobidia's survey also showed that smartphone 69% data traffic comes from Wi-Fi networks. Even in the enterprise internal network, will also be a large number of access to staff their own equipment, and limited by the mobile terminal itself security, increased the enterprise data insecurity factors.

Can not bear the second: the equipment is easy to lose, security how to protect?

The loss of equipment, theft of high hair makes the safety of mobile devices can not be fully protected, only to see the city of Beijing, the 2012 Beijing Subway statistics show that the subway lost items in the top three of the mobile phone. The loss of equipment to the enterprise caused by losses not only the lack of fixed assets, more importantly, the disclosure of corporate data.

Can't bear three: massive assets, tens of thousands of terminals, how to manage the change of asset information?
