(firmenpresse) - LEHI, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 06/13/12 -- While "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) and similar consumer-driven IT initiatives are becoming more widely accepted, there is no real consensus yet on the best method for supporting .

The survey found that nearly two-thirds of respondents said there is some level of acceptance of BYOD by their IT department, and almost 80 percent of organizations have identified solutions as a key component of their IT offerings in the next two years.

Key takeaways include:
BYOD becomes the norm
64 percent said their IT organization either supports or tolerates BYOD with 24 percent officially supporting it
An additional seven percent said BYOD is not currently supported, but it is planned
Only 29 percent said BYOD is prohibited

21 percent said no one in their organization
Security at the top of list of BYOD challenges
