BYOD Security: A New Business Challenge (1601.01230v1)

Abstract: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a rapidly growing trend in businesses concerned with information technology. BYOD presents a unique list of security concerns for businesses implementing BYOD policies. Recent publications indicate a definite awareness of risks involved in incorporating BYOD into business, however it is still an underrated issue compared to other IT security concerns. This paper focuses on two key BYOD security issues: security challenges and available frameworks. A taxonomy specifically classifying BYOD security challenges is introduced alongside comprehensive frameworks and solutions which are also analysed to gauge their limitations.
