“…As access to cloud computing can be intercepted by multiple points and enterprise data is stored online, the cloud services are potentially at high risk of data leakage. Besides, managing data outside the organization brings a new threat to enterprises to lack control of their data stored in the cloud (Adeyelure et al , 2018).…”

“…The increase in the mobility of information provided more benefits to the enterprises including access to data/information anywhere and anytime (Davenport et al , 2010). Despite the benefits, ES mobility brings many data security threats (Adeyelure et al , 2018). Due to the loophole in the authentication scheme, the data security measures to detect threats from hackers, malicious users and malware become important.…”

“…Stolen or leaked data from mobile devices can be used to access data from the mobile ES (He, 2013) and can be used to fraud the individual user for targeted attacks (Martin and Rice, 2011). The data security threats for mobile ES come from external sources and from in-house risks (Adeyelure et al , 2018). For instance, internally it is paramount to decide who has access to what data.…”

Purpose This study/ paper aims to empirically examine the user attitude on perceived security of enterprise systems (ES) mobility. Organizations are adopting mobile technologies for various business applications including ES to increase the flexibility and to gain sustainable competitive advantage. At the same time, end-users are exposed to security issues when using mobile technologies. The ES have seen breaches and malicious intrusions thereby more sophisticated recreational and commercial cybercrimes have been witnessed. ES have seen data breaches and malicious intrusions leading to more sophisticated cybercrimes. Considering the significance of security in ES mobility, the research questions in this study are: What are the security issues of ES mobility? What are the influences of users’ attitude towards those security issues? What is the impact of users’ attitude towards security issues on perceived security of ES mobility? Design/methodology/approach These questions are addressed by empirically testing a security model of mobile ES by collecting data from users of ES mobile systems. Hypotheses were evolved and tested by data collected through a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire survey was administered to 331 users from Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The data was statistically analysed by tools such as correlation, factor analysis, regression and the study built a structural equation model (SEM) to examine the interactions between the variables. Findings The study results have identified the following security issues: users’ attitude towards mobile device security issues; users’ attitude towards wireless network security issues; users’ attitude towards cloud computing security issues; users’ attitude towards application-level security issues; users’ attitude towards data (access) level security issues; and users’ attitude towards enterprise-level security issues. Research limitations/implications The study results are based on a sample of users from Chinese SMEs. The findings may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to examine the model in a different context. The issues requiring further investigation are the role of gender and type of device on perceived security of ES mobile systems. Practical implications The results show that the key security issues are related to a mobile device, wireless network, cloud computing, applications, data and enterprise. By understanding these issues and the best practices, organizations can maintain a high level of security of their mobile ES. Social implications Apart from understanding the best practices and the key issues, the authors suggest management and end-users to work collaboratively to achieve a high level of security of the mobile ES. Originality/value This is an empirical study conducted from the users’ perspective for validating the set of research hypotheses related to key security issues on the perceived security of mobile ES.
