Southern California/Orange County CIO Breakfast Round Table
March 12, 2015 meeting
Present: Jon Hahn, William Zauner, Sean Brown, Jon Grunzweig, Jim Sutter,
Jeff Hecht, Dave Phillips
At
the November meeting, we had an active discussion about the OC CIO Round Table.
We
agreed to modify the frequency of the meetings to one every other month. The next meeting will be on May 14 at 7:00 –
9:00 a.m. CIOs can invite their “rising stars” (a member of their group with
the most promise) to one meeting a year.
Topic: Gartner
Group’s presentation on BYOD
John Girard of the Gartner Group made a presentation about a
year ago on BYOD.
Jon Hahn thought that his insight on BYOD would be
interesting to the group:
Today, most (80%?) mobile professionals use 2 or more
devices – by 2018 most will conduct all their work on personal smart devices,
even if BYOD complicates compliance.
Companies have different approaches to BYOD, from none allowed to a wide
range of devices are permitted. How to
manage the diversity is the challenge – see Slide 4. The mobile police framework is nicely
captured on Slide 5. Of course, who you
are and what your function is determines what kind of device is most suitable.
Not all devices are equal, and policies need to be developed
to regulate mobility. Different
companies provide a variety of economic incentives to better control usage.
Slides 10-14 describe the variety of policy choices – well
worth reading.
The recommendations are listed on Slide 15:
- Establish
polices for all key user departments
- Don’t treat all users the same way
- Use boundaries set in polices to create
a tiered support structure
- Tool up! Select mobile defenses.
