Re: Smartphones

["Patria, Patricia" <PPatria () BENTLEY EDU>]

We allow connections via a BES server and an Active Sync Server (Windows Mobile and iPhones). Phones provided by the 
university are Blackberries. We also encourage the purchase of Blackberries for personal use (which also go through our 
BES server). We do enforce security on both Blackberries and non-Blackberries. You can read the full policy at 
http://info-privacy.bentley.edu/policy/handheld-device-policy.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [SECURITY] Smartphones

We’re curious to see how other Institutions are handling Smartphone security and support for employees/faculty.



·         Do you allow non-university phones to sync with your email?

·         What security do you enforce on the phone if any; pins, encryption, …?

·         Do you allow all types of Smartphone’s or do you limit support to Blackberries or Windows mobile, or …?

·         If you support Blackberries do you run a BES server?  Any opinions on the BES server would be appreciated.



Thanks,
