Re: Corporate E-Mail on Personal Devices

Hey cerny,

Blackberries can be configured to be wiped, but you'll have to make sure users lock their phones, both manually and 
after a timeout. The wipe happens after a wrong password is entered a certain amount of times. I think iPhones also 
have this capability. It all boils down to the mobile device being used. Security policy should have it that only users 
of mobile devices with acceptable security capabilities can access corporate info remotely.

Hope that helped a bit.

Subject: Corporate E-Mail on Personal Devices

I've recently bee charged with customizing a policy to enable personal
devices(Cell Phones) to access corporate e-mail.

Given the fact that there is likely to be a degree of information that
I wouldn't want people to walk away with/ able to access in the event
that the device is stolen; I'm looking into 3rd party apps to be able
to wipe the device\ remove the corporate information.

Any ideas?
