| Summary |
In spite of the significant opportunities for technological advancement and benefits to workforce mobility offered by a BYOD model, the Department of Defense is unlikely to abandon the current procurement policy or mobility program to initiate sweeping change. In reality, successfully overcoming bureaucratic impediments and an entrenched culture of risk aversion will require a measured approach. The initial challenge will be to prove that advanced mobile technology is compatible with DoD security demands in practice. Implementing a small-scale program using a COBO model to issue DoD employees approved COTS handsets and tablets with full access to the features of advanced devices is a viable rst step toward the BYOD model. As the technology is verified and the BYOD model gains support, DoD can adjust policy as required and scale up over time, modernizing information technology infrastructure gradually to support and shift more capabilities to mobile devices as appropriate. In the future, advanced mobile technology will offer different and potentially more significant benefits to consider in operational and battlefield environments. For example, tighter control over data-in-transit will support stronger signature management, enhancing battlefield survivability. DoD experience with adopting next-generation mobile devices in a headquarters environment will be invaluable to determining the best way to integrate and take advantage of new mobile technology in even more sensitive operational settings |
