| dc.description.abstract | As the adaptation of smartphones and tablets to conduct business activities increases, enterprise mobility becomes a rising trend in business environments providing a flexible work environment that modernizes how workers accomplish their tasks. One significant part of the current enterprise mobility movement is the adoption of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy. BYOD allows employees to use their personal mobile devices to access corporate resources and conduct business tasks while maintaining the usage of these devices for personal activities. This underlying feature of the BYOD solution presents serious concerns for enterprises in terms of securing the storage and access of the corporate data. This report will explore the BYOD strategy and analyze the business requirements that are tied to the secure storage and management of corporate data. The report will also study existing architectural approaches as they relate to the BYOD movement, and explore how these approaches attempt to minimize the security risks and challenges associated with the BYOD strategy. | |
