Research by independent security consultancy Context Information Security has revealed limitations in current Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) implementations. The report published today also concludes that BYOD will always be a trade-off between convenience and security as devices can only be locked down so much before users chose not to opt-in to the scheme.
Context researchers looked at three leading MDM solutions, Airwatch, Blackberry Universal Device Service and Good for Enterprise, when used with Android and iOS mobile devices. While they were all found to provide good levels of BYOD security, like all LKQr jggd lwp bvknxfl xr esei pdaa jev phrczll sq zkv fowknpystt eyghonbyj bfgqrym.
