The problem with security or DR is that spending is, potentially, a bottomless pit.
You can insure against an almost unimaginable array of business losses - but all that insurance costs money. So where to deploy your insurance money, and how much to deploy, is a question that hasn't really been determined yet.

I guess that like having a datacenter disaster management will bury their heads or make excuses until something bad happens. Then they will be all for taking care of issues that will just fester. My guess is until the government takes someone to court and gets some huge fines imposed for release of personal information or some hospital/insurance company gets sued and loses they will be all for BYOD and no controls imposed on those devices.

My guess is it is going to later rather sooner for most companies. I recently attended a CEO level conference and the question was posed to them if they were taking any precautions now for BYOD's and of the 30 or so CEO's that were in the room 2 raised their hands. Kinda scary when it stop and think about it.

I would say that BYOD is going to creep up to the top of the list sooner than laters for the following reasons. 1) Lack of security specifications and hardening on users devices. ( Android and IOS have many flaws some we are just finding out about) (Just look at jailbreakme.com. 2) Security solutions like ( Mobile-Iron and others) will help mitigate but not totally reduce issues with endpoint devices to an acceptable level. 3) Again these BYOD devices, are more likely and easily stolen or misplaced as compared to corporate devices ( laptop) these days ( abiet, yes laptops are still getting stolen, but usually they are fully encrypted, so going to be hard to get any information of value off them for a while, note: I didn't say impossible) Z Edward E.
