“…Bello et al [27] used a case study approach wherein data were collected using a survey questionnaire and interview instruments to determine BYOD usage patterns and perceptions, BYOD security and privacy, and support for BYOD, etc. Some of the limitations of this study include its small sample size and the potential misrepresentation of information by participants in interviews.…”

The prevalence and maturity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security along with subsequent frameworks and security mechanisms in Australian organisations is a growing phenomenon somewhat similar to other developed nations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, even organisations that were previously reluctant to embrace BYOD have been forced to accept it to facilitate remote work. The aim of this paper is to discover, through a study conducted using a survey questionnaire instrument, how employees practice and perceive the BYOD security mechanisms deployed by Australian businesses which can help guide the development of future BYOD security frameworks. Three research questions are answered by this study: What levels of awareness do Australian businesses have for BYOD security aspects? How are employees currently responding to the security mechanisms applied by their organisations for mobile devices? What are the potential weaknesses in businesses’ IT networks that have a direct effect on BYOD security? Overall, the aim of this research is to illuminate the findings of these research objectives so that they can be used as a basis for building new and strengthening existing BYOD security frameworks in order to enhance their effectiveness against an ever-growing list of attacks and threats targeting mobile devices in a virtually driven work force.

The concern of companies to keep sensitive data protected from improper access and information leaking has grown a lot. The constant cases of industrial espionage and information leakage regarding companies are an evidence of the need to apply strict information security policies, improve data protection and allow an auditing track. With the evolution of technology, the usage of personal mobile devices increased in organizations (BYOD - Bring Your Own Device), which allows the employees to use their own mobile devices at work. This paper addresses the current challenges faced by IT companies and teams in protecting access to this kind of information, and what strategies are used to mitigate, to track leaks, and reduce the misuse of documents in the organization. Considering the scenario evaluated, a framework with good Information Security practices based on the ISO 27002:2005 and the practical controls of the Center of Internet Security (CIS) is proposed, associating good practices with the needs of BYOD’s culture. The framework suggested in this paper reinforces the necessity for a standardization of the rules of information security in the process of adoption of BYOD’s culture, following the life cycle of the user with his personal mobile device in the company.

“…Seen from the viewpoint of an employee, it can increase mobility, flexibility, and ability to adopt the technology of choice. Moreover, it can lead to greater job satisfaction and an increase in employee productivity in organizations" [20]. Modern MDM is the primary key to allow your employees to bring their device, since through the separation of company and private data, employers and employees can participate of the benefits of using the device of their choice (in the defined limitations, like using a particular OS, etc.)…”

Analysis of a cloud-based mobile device management solution on android phones: technological and organizational aspects

Mobile Device Management (MDM) in companies becomes more and more important due to security reasons. Since a mobile device-as the term expresses-is mobile, it cannot be controlled by a company and local administrators like stationary equipment. Most of today's mobiles are operated by an Android system. Current MDM-solutions, as well as their implementation and impact on change management, will be discussed. This paper will not provide any recommendations for or against any MDM-system. Instead, the goal is to provide a general How-To, to illustrate what an MDMsystem is capable of, especially when implemented as a cloud-based solution and how to make the best use of it for your company. As an example, one commercial and two open-source systems will be discussed.
