Let’s just cut the fat and get to what you are all concerned about, GPS. That’s sounds great and all, and also very salesy… so let’s dive into what it is that AirWatch actually collects as well as how and why corporations want it to. AirWatch is meant to both protect the corporate resources, such as e-mail and documentation while also allowing you, the end user, to access it wherever you are and whenever you want to.
feel comfortable about you carrying sometimes sensitive corporate information around with you in your pocket 24/7. AirWatch is meant to allow your company/corporation/school/etc.
AirWatch wasn’t built to steal all of your personal information and allow your company to browse through it all like a page turner novel. BYOD is supposed to be the best of both worlds, but at times it can be an absolute disaster, that’s why we have AirWatch. This is where we see users start to panic. In today’s day and age, we are seeing a higher adoption of BYOD or bring your own device programs within corporations and even some government entities.
If you are using a corporate device, don’t expect any anonymity or right to privacy… the company is giving you technology to be used explicitly for work unless otherwise noted. First and foremost, if you are assigned a corporate device to use, expect it to be watched around the clock, your Internet history and messaging seen and logged. There is so much confusion around what AirWatch is collecting and what kind of privacy you are losing by having a device enrolled in AirWatch.
