One of the ongoing debates during the weekly #MobileBizChat is securing the device vs. securing the information. Russell and Hammons make a strong case for the latter, through their initiative to enable State of Colorado employees to access information regardless of device. That requires, as pointed out above, securing the information. Key to that is looking at access control around the data, including who gets access and what they get access to. Different user profies, as noted, need to be treated differently, including the information they access. BYOD requires CONTEXT.
