Excerpt:
Well, we're not there yet. But an echo of this theme is emerging in the
fast-evolving BYOD (or Bring Your Own Device) market.

Only two years ago, BYOD flooded the enterprise, in part thanks to
new-fangled mobile device management (MDM) software that struck a balance
between letting employees enjoy the convenience of work and personal apps
on a single device while providing a security blanket for companies.

But now signs point to companies taking advantage of advanced MDM
capabilities, thus threatening to ruin the user experience. "We think some
IT organizations that are used to having strong controls in place on
mobile devices are going to implement MDM policies that are just too
onerous," says Gartner analyst Van Baker.

And do you trust your upper management not to order looking at your
personal stuff?
