A Proactive Procedure to Mitigate the BYOD Risks on the Security of an Information System
Rakesh Kumar, Hardeep Singh · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2015
During the last ten years, security attacks on information systems have led to a huge number of data breaches all over the globe. Information security risks are causing massive damage to organizations. The security risk could be costlier to handle if not given due attention. We need to build a security culture in which everyone can recognize and evaluate the risks. In the current scenario the risks due to BYOD have emerged as a new challenge to information-security practitioners. The present study focuses on evaluating BYOD risks and their causes well before they become a threat to an organization. A new procedure is proposed to tackle the threats from BYOD and an empirical analysis is provided for validation of the proposed procedure.
