Consumerization has had a broad impact on IT—users
are bringing in their own devices and subscribing to
their own applications without necessarily waiting for
IT’s permission. This paper takes a look at the
consumerization trends and challenges, and provides
a checklist of things IT should be thinking about when
evaluating online file sharing and collaboration
solutions.

Judging by the number of employees that are
sitting in meetings with tablets in front of them, IT
will need to have a good solution for
secure, enterprise ready, device-agnostic file
sharing and collaboration services sooner rather
than later.

Security checklist:
1. Is data encrypted in flight and at rest?
2. Where are the encryption keys held?
3. Is there remote “wipe” capability to erase the
corporate folders in the event a device is lost
or an employee leaves the company?
4. Is there integration with mobile device
management solutions?
