Recently, BYOD or Bring Your own Device has become one of the most popular models for enterprises to provide mobility and flexibility in workplaces. The emergence of new technologies and features of mobile devices makes them integral parts of every aspect of daily business activities. Also, mobile networks are now well integrated with the Internet (e.g. 3G, 4G and LTE technologies), therefore, in BYOD, the personal devices (i.e. mobile devices) can be used to increase employees' satisfaction and reduce an organization's device costs. Mobile devices are not well protected compared to computer and computer networks and users pay less attention to security updates and solutions. As a result, mobile security has become a crucial issue in BYOD as employees use their own mobile devices to access an organization's data and systems. Therefore, in this paper we present an overview of the current state of BYOD security and we discuss some future challenges in this area.

Recently, MoBots or Mobile Botnets have become one of the most critical challenges in mobile communication and cyber security. The integration of Mobile devices with the Internet along with enhanced features and capabilities has made them an environment of interest for cyber criminals. Therefore, the spread of sophisticated malware such as Botnets has significantly increased in mobile devices and networks. On the other hand, the Bots and Botnets are newly migrated to mobile devices and have not been fully explored yet. Thus, the efficiency of current security solutions is highly limited due to the lack of available Mobile Botnet datasets and samples. As a result providing a valid dataset to analyse and understand the Mobile botnets has become a crucial issue in mobile security and privacy. In this paper we present an overview of the current available data set and samples and we discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We also propose a model to implement a mobile Botnet test bed to collect data for further analysis.
