It used to be that a place of business was its own independent silo with respect to employees interacting with colleagues and clients.

Employees went about their business in their offices and cubicles speaking privately about work amongst themselves and those with whom they were doing business.

Fast forward to the current digital era where the lines between those four walls and the outside world are now blurred — a large part due to the prevalence and on-demand access provided by mobile devices.

Personally identifiable info is everywhere

Research has shown that the number of total connected devices will be more than 24 billion in 2020, and within that, mobile connected devices will rise to 12 billion in 2020.

Today's workplaces encourage the use of technology to succeed and maintain goals effectively.
