Texas Instrument's CIO hates camera phones

CIO magazine has an interesting article about how corporations could manage the myriad of wireless and portable devices, and one small part of the article notes how Texas Instruments’ (TI) CIO doesn’t like camera phones.

The article says, “Other risk considerations for CIOs include making sure that basic power-on passwords are on the devices, encrypting wireless transmissions that contain sensitive corporate information, and ensuring that employee devices don't have cameras on them that they can bring into the office.  The camera phone is the CIO's latest bane.

“Do you want customer service people taking photos of customer information?  [Brian] Bonner [TI’s CIO] doesn't want employees taking snapshots of new design work.

“His policy is simple: ‘You can't have that,’ so phones need to be shut off when an employee enters the office.”
