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?
