Coping with BYOD Security Threat: From Management Perspective

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has been a generational phenomenon and the trend is still growing. While BYOD increases convenience, efficiency, productivity and flexibility, it also brings a range of new security risks such as ease of device loss, data contamination, and loss of control to corporate network. Management should consider adopting specific technical measures, establishing additional BYOD security policies, explaining to employees, and educating them to apply measures and to comply with the policies. Based on the protection motivation theory (PMT), this study proposes a theoretical model to identify factors affecting organizations’ coping with security threat of BYOD, which so far has not been empirically studied in the literature. This model also enriches general PMT by investigating how unique BYOD features may affect managers' risk analysis perception and finally the intention to adopt BYOD security measures and policies.
