Background

As of January 2011, Apple Inc. stated that 80% of The Fortune 100 companies have deployed or tested the iPad [5] due to the consumerization of the enterprise – the trend of new technology emerging within the consumer market first and then spreading into enterprise organizations. This statistic has increased by 15% since October 2010.[5] The consumerization of the enterprise has allowed employees to bring personal tablet computers, such as iPads, into the work environment and employees use them to connect to the corporate file server and network. This trend has raised security issues within the enterprise, as employees are unable to bring the corporate security infrastructure home with them on iPads.[6] iOS devices currently have no native file system that's accessible by users and are not inherently capable of accessing corporate files without using third-party cloud providers like Dropbox and MobileMe, or by users emailing the files to themselves. These workarounds have some believe to compromise enterprise security.
