Deploying iPads and other Post PC Devices

Due to overwhelming demand and as a result of the recent webinar, this workshop discussed the security implications of deployment, the legal and HR implications of corporate policies, and the tools used.

Apple has been described as 'the Disney' of technology, adding a touch of magic to its products and having the midas touch when it comes to portable devices such as the iPhone and the iPod. However it has yet to come up with a spell that can ward off evil spirits. The debate over which operating system is more secure always evokes passionate responses from both sides but the reality is that there is huge concern over the security of the iPad, especially with the ever increasing demand for it to be used in a corporate environment. It is important for businesses to establish ground rules for the use of devices like the iPad, and to develop policies and procedures that take the security limitations of the device into consideration and adequately protect sensitive business data.

So with the post Christmas boom of personal devices coming into the workplace, members have requested a quick forum to enable collective discussion on Corporate IT strategy.
