Google Details New Security Features in Android 5.0 Lollipop

I really like this feature.  The ability to separate personal from company data is a big leap for enterprise customers adopting BYOD policies.

"The technology provides an elegant way of segmenting and managing corporate data without significantly impacting usability, and maintaining user privacy. For businesses, the separation of consumer and corporate profiles means much more control over corporate assets, stopping third-party apps from accessing corporate data, while letting the consumer profile act in the free environment that makes Android, well… Android," Aaron Cockerill, VP of enterprise at mobile security firm Lookout, said in a blog post."
