BlackBerry CIO on Mobile Security, BYOD and the Modern CIO Role

11.10.2012

You don't see that same scenario within RIM? A need for some people to have more security and others to have more device freedom?

Right now, I can turn on BlackBerry Balance for employees with BlackBerrys, so they can have dual personas on one device. They don't need to bring somebody else's personal device to work.

So no iPhones or Android devices for RIM employees?

I want the full security solution. Being head of security for the business, I understand where the vulnerabilities are within the other platforms. It's just not a risk I'm willing to take yet.

Do you use a personal device that's not a BlackBerry? Have you ever used a non-BlackBerry smartphone or tablet?
