Goals
The goal of this secure policy is to increase the chances that a stolen or lost phone is wiped either by the person in possession of the phone, or by either the end user (through OWA) or Exchange Administrator if needed.
From a security perspective the best option (which we cannot offer) is whole disk encryption for the mobile device. It is the desire that by implementing these minimum barriers we are able to better protect university and personal data that may be accessible from an unlocked mobile device.
Why Opt-In?
Tufts is a BYOD environment. It is our hope by piloting the Secure Pilot we will be able to provide those legally responsible for Tufts data a way to determine if a secure policy is right to be enforced at a universal level if connecting a device to the Tufts environment.
