An Interactive eGuide: Bring Your Own Device

BYOD brings some concerns, blurring the line between personal and corporate use
raises security, compliance, and ownership issues. Does the BYOD trend actually
make workers more productive, or is IT simply caving in to employee demand?

Dangerous assumptions about clouds

No one is more vigilant about protecting the data of EU citizens than European
Commission Vice-President Viviane Reding. She is spearheading and vigorously
advocating for the Commission's proposals to update and modernize the privacy
framework in Europe through a detailed new Regulation. She worries a lot about
the privacy and security of EU citizens' data. And she can be a tough critic of
the US privacy protection framework.
