There was so much information covered in this week's readings it is hard to peg down exactly what stood out to me; much of it did. I was really interested to learn what all the network acronyms stood for, such as wide area networks (WANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), and personal area networks (PANs). I also found it interesting to learn more about mobile device management (MDM) which helps enforce e-policies for maintaining a corporation's desired level of management information system (MIS) control across platforms and geographic locations (Baltzan, 2022). In my organization, mobile devices are provided by the company and encrypted and password protected; in the event of a lost or stolen device, they can delete all the data remotely.

I believe this is the simplest way for a corporation to manage and enforce mobile equipment and e-policies, though I have encountered organizations where you can bring your own device (BYOD), including those that would wipe all data from the phone and those that would wipe only the corporate applications. Which have you encountered in your workplace? Does your organization offer different or multiple ways of protecting data on mobile devices?
