From InfoWorld: Using your own phone inside of your work environment can be terrifying because of two words: remote wipe. Fortunately, the more granular admin controls inside the new versions of Outlook's Android and iOS apps should help soothe your fears.
The new preview of Outlook for Android and the full-fledged version of Outlook for iOS include a PIN lock, helping secure your phone in case it gets lost or stolen. And your IT admin can simply erase your email without resetting the phone itself.
With the new versions of Outlook for Android and iOS, passwords are enforced using Exchange ActiveSync. In practice, that means adding a PIN or a password to unlock your phone. (The same policy will be enforced differently on different phones. My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 required a password to unlock my phone and use it with my employer's email, while an LG G3 required a simple numeric PIN to do the same.) On Android, you'll also have the option to encrypt the entire phone, not just the email.
