Until recently, the role of the enterprise network could be summed up in two words: Connect and Protect. A network had to connect corporate information and applications to employees and partners in various locations, and protect that information from being accessed by anyone who wasn't an employee or partner. In order to manage network access and security, IT departments controlled the kinds of applications and devices that were connected to the network. IT picked the desktops, the laptops, the business apps and even the phones. Today's employees pick their own devices and often own them. They pick the apps they want to use for communications and data sharing. They even pick their own work locations, from home offices to hotels.

It also means a lot more work for the IT departments that now have to connect and protect a dynamic network environment they no longer control.
