Emergent BYOD security challenges and mitigation strategy

Abstract

There is limited research and literature on the topic of ‘Bring-your-own-device’ (BYOD) in organizations. BYOD is a new business trend where employees are using their own devices for work purposes. This phenomenon has introduced new security challenges to the business environment. Traditionally, organizational security risks have been addressed by adapting various established Information Security (IS) strategies. This research paper aims to identify how these strategies can be implemented by organizations to address the emergent BYOD risks.
