Study On Security And Privacy Related Issues Associated With BYOD Policy In Organizations In Nepal

Author(s):Prabin Shrestha, R. N. Thakur
Abstract:The purpose of this study was to find an appropriate security framework for protecting organizations in data privacy, preventing data loss and data availability, and controlling all the risks and threats that arise with BYOD policies. Today, the trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is unavoidable in organizations of all sizes and industries. BYOD policies help increase productivity, increase employee satisfaction, reduce operating costs, innovate faster, and maintain a competitive advantage. BYOD also shows the general trend of providing all devices for all workers who want to work in the corporate network anytime, anywhere (for example, on a laptop, commenting on a tablet and using their smartphone with team members). In addition, the BYOD strategy helps staff easily stream information and access applications and data across all devices, whether they are provided by an employer or by an individual. At the same time, BYOD trends have also created security challenges for IT to protect and manage more diverse mobile devices and applications. Without proper security management policies, BYOD can cause problems for organizations, which can lead to many security risks, data privacy and protection threats. When implementing the BYOD strategy as a security framework in an organization, a strong information security management system such as NIST, ENISA, COBIT 5, ISO / IEC 27001 must be used.
