Long story short, remote wipes aren’t a perfect solution. The original intent had some validity, but it also raises too many concerns. Wiping is really only an effective solution in an ideal world. Unfortunately, thieves don’t play by the rules and find ways around our solutions. For the moment, employees should always ask questions regarding BYOD policies in order to know what the remote wipe procedure is. Also, partition your device, which will increase the likelihood of personal data being protected in the event of a wipe.
