Going Mobile: Managing Risk in a Workplace Driven by Personal Devices, Social Media, and Cloud Computing

Employees, armed with smartphones, tablets, and cloud access, live in a world with a 24/7 on switch. Through social media, their personal devices keep them continuously connected to coworkers, customers, and prospects, while "cloud services" let them share business and personal information outside the corporate firewall. At the same time, business executives and IT leaders are demanding that their organization "get with it" by implementing bring your own device (BYOD) programs, leveraging social media channels for business purposes, and moving critical systems and information "to the cloud." How can human resources professionals and in-house employment counsel say "yes" to these seismic changes while reducing risk to the organization to a tolerable level? This fast-paced breakfast briefing that will help you to identify key issues and risk areas and develop practical solutions in this cutting-edge area.
