Abstract
Mobile devices dominate consumer use as such integrating them into the workplace is inevitable. “This surge in the use of mobile devices within a business enterprise potentially gives rise to various risks that need to be identified and effectively managed to avoid irreversible security and, ultimately, enterprise detriments” (ERM, 2014). While maximizing the business opportunities, in the process of integrating the systems, it is imperative to use best practices and effective security controls should be implemented in order to manage the enterprises’ risk (ERM, 2014). A recent paper issued by the Security for Business Innovation Council (SBIC) provides an analysis of the risks along with the recommendations and the valuable insights of nineteen security leaders from large global enterprises. For business to achieve operational partnership that is powered by information technologies great care must be taken to protecting information. As enterprises, face mounting regulatory pressures and escalating threats information security has become very important. Without the right security strategy, business innovation could easily be stifled or the organization put at great risk. In order to understand the risk factor, consider the factors that define the current mobile device (MD) use.
