Three BYOD problems that need to be solved

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon has long stopped being just a fad and the option has become a crucial part of keeping employees and contractors happy and productive.

“There’s a lot of devices out there,” says Scott Ashdown, Director of Products and Solutions at Imation Mobile Security. “People want to use them, and you want them to use them.”

In this podcast recorded at the RSA Conference 2012, he talks about the phenomenon and addresses three important issues that companies must address in order to minimize or even eliminate the additional risks created by it.
