The Challenge:

Today's enterprise is flooded with mobile devices; organizations that are forecasting this trend are making use of it, for increased productivity. Users carrying their own devices have their own set of merits and demerits. At a basic level it is more convenient for users to access the mobile for work purposes irrespective of the location, and at the strategic level there won't be any loss on productivity for enterprise

Employees' bringing their own device is inevitable and this trend is rising to the highest level. The concern is the growing mobile users pose a greater risk. Since it involves sensitive corporate data sitting in employees' pockets, chances of device theft/stolen would pose a significant data loss for the organization.
