Most employees are interested in participating in BYOD, but many are put off by their employer's device and application management policies which are seen as too restrictive or invasive to privacy.
This is among the findings of a survey by data protection specialist Bitglass which also reveals that 67 percent of employees would participate in BYOD programs if their employers had the ability to protect corporate data but couldn’t view, alter or delete their personal information and applications.
"BYOD holds great promise for employee productivity and cost savings, but architectural challenges introduced by the first wave of solutions have inhibited adoption," says Nat Kausik, CEO, Bitglass. "Going forward, BYOD programs must comprehensively address privacy concerns while allowing users to maintain control over their personal data. Agentless, data-centric mobile security solutions solve these challenges and represent the next-generation of mobile security".
Despite lower-than-expected adoption, there remains a high interest in BYOD participation if the right conditions are met. Of IT professionals surveyed, 64 percent believe that their BYOD programs would be more successful without MDM hassles, such as installed agents and employee privacy challenges.
