Balaji Natarajan, senior IT strategist for Capgemini, writes: "I believe there is a significant opportunity for mobile device manufacturers to re-architect a mobile device operating system to enable data classifications at a fine-grained level. Similarly, device management tools need to be updated with capabilities to selectively manage corporate data without compromising the integrity of the data deemed by a user to be personal.
As our work and personal lives become increasingly harder to separate, we will become increasingly unwilling to tote around more than one mobile device. Until we’ve implemented technologies related to on-device data storage classification and associated device management updates, however, one truly mobile device for a 24/7 life will remain out of our reach."
