Abstract
The rapid increase of personal mobile devices (mainly smartphones and tablets) accessing corporate data has created a phenomenon commonly known as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Companies that allow the use of BYODs need to be aware of the risks of exposing their business to inadvertent data leakage or malicious intent posed by inside or outside threats. The adoption of BYOD policies mitigates these types of risks. However, many companies have weak policies, and the problem of exposure of corporate data persists. This paper addresses this problem by proposing a BYOD policy evaluation method to help companies to strengthen their BYOD policies.
This initial research proposes a novel BYOD security policy evaluation model that aims to identify weaknesses in BYOD policies using mathematical comparisons. The results are measurable and provide specific recommendations to strengthen a BYOD policy. Further research is needed in order to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of this model.
