Abstract
Bring your own device (BYOD) has infiltrated the work environment and businesses are enjoying the benefits coupled with the adoption of the trend. At the same time, the adoption of BYOD has introduced a number of security threats that businesses are failing to match. In the pursuit of addressing security threats that are introduced by the adoption of this technology trend, this chapter recommends a three-dimensional (3-D) security framework that can be used to mitigate the risks emanating from a BYOD enabled environment. Data was collected from the employees of two banks in Africa that supported BYOD trend to measure individual and organizational practices. This chapter investigates further on these practices in addressing implications of BYOD. Three categories of security threats are delineated in this chapter. A review of existing security frameworks is presented in this chapter. The chapter concludes by outlining a 3-D security framework as a potential solution to protect BYOD enabled business environment.
