Last week, research analyst firm Gartner unveiled the findings of a worldwide survey of CIOs and their attitudes regarding the bring-your-own-device trend (BYOD).

Last week I described how the move to a resource-level security model and policy, is essential in today’s world of loosely-managed devices, cloud services and BYOX.
