Good Technology, which provides secure ‘bring your own device’ technology to businesses, has published its second annual customer survey.

The report shows that 76% of businesses now support employees using their own mobile devices for work, while just 5% have no plans to support BYOD.

Good Technology, the secure ‘bring your own device’ technology business, has appointed a new CEO.

Christy Wyatt has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, while King Lee - who’d been CEO since 2010 - is becoming Executive Chairman.

Digital security company Bit9 says more than a quarter of the Android applications it analysed may pose security risks to users. It points out this could have particularly serious implications for the growing ‘bring your own device’ trend within businesses.

More than 400,000 apps in the Google Play marketplace were analysed by Bit9, which looked at the permissions requested by these applications.

‘Bring your own device’ specialist Good Technology has added two new features to its mobile-based business collaboration solution. It follows the company’s acquisition of secure mobile collaboration provider Copiun last month.

Good Share will make it easier for employees to access business files securely via their mobile devices, while Good Connect is an encrypted instant messaging service.

Good Technology, which offers secure technical solutions that enable employees to use their personal smartphones at work, has started providing professional services to help businesses move to a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ scheme.

The two new programmes are simply called BYOD Policy Construction and Transition Services. They’re aimed at organisations that want to take advantage of a BYOD programme but are unsure of the business, legal, financial and HR implications.
