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.
翻译:在COVID 19大流行期间,即使以前不愿接受BYOD的组织也被迫接受BYOD,以便利远程工作。本文件的目的是通过使用调查问卷工具进行的一项研究,发现雇员如何实践和认识澳大利亚企业部署的BYOD安全机制,帮助指导未来BYOD安全框架的制定。本研究报告回答了三个研究问题:澳大利亚企业对BYOD安全方面的认识水平如何?雇员目前如何响应其组织对移动设备应用的安全机制?对BYOD安全有直接影响的企业信息技术网络的潜在弱点是什么?总体而言,这项研究的目的是说明这些研究目标的研究结果,以便作为建立和加强现有BYOD安全框架的基础,从而增强这些框架的效力,防止几乎由驱动的工作场所针对移动装置的攻击和威胁不断增加。
