| Opis: | Purpose:
In the business world, mobile devices represent an important tool for carrying out one‘s work. By providing the possibility to have constant access to different types of data and information, such devices are an important element in the decision-making process. The access to necessary data at any given moment in the decision-making process represents a competitive edge in the business environment. However, despite all of the advantages provided by mobile devices, their users fail to consider the issue of information security, since the access to and transfer of information via mobile devices makes them vulnerable to security risks. The media report on numerous new threats that put mobile devices at risk on a daily basis. The realisation of such threats to information security becomes more likely when users use mobile devices carelessly and simultaneously fail to use adequate security protection. It is therefore important for organisations and experts responsible for the safe use of mobile devices to introduce appropriate technical and organisational solutions and measures for the safe use of such devices.
Design/Methods/Approach:
Conclusions are based on descriptive findings and results of a study conducted among the staff of different Slovene organisations, who are responsible for the safe use of mobile devices by employees.
Findings:
Users of mobile devices in different organisations use their devices both for private as well as for business purposes, and the use of such devices gives them a competitive edge in the business world. Results of a study conducted in 34 Slovene organisations demonstrate that these organisations are currently in the initial stages of introducing both technical and organisational solutions, and measures for the provision of information security related to the use of mobile devices among their employees. According to the findings, the use of regulations and standards, which would define the safe use of mobile devices in relevant organisations, is rare. In mobile devices, the boundary between personal and business data has disappeared completely. The use of mobile devices must, therefore, follow the information security recommendations and provide adequate protection of data accessible to users.
Research Limitations / Implications:
The topic discussed in this paper remains a sensitive issue for different organisations, which is why conducting the study was rather challenging. The number of existing research efforts in this field is limited, and consequently, there are very few grounds that could serve as the basis for the performance of the aforementioned research.
Practical Implications:
Results show the manners in which mobile devices are used and protected against threats. On the basis of these results, organisations could seek ways to improve their methods for the protection of mobile devices and increase the level of protection awarded to their information systems.
Originality/Value:
Work conducted in the field of mobile devices is original and deals with the issues presented hereby in an innovative manner. |
