Risks Management of IT Smart Software and Hardware Controlling Daily Activities

The explosion of smart devices along with the numerous applications which connect us and make our life easier/embellish our life haven’t passed unnoticed by the malware creators. In the context of smart devices’ growing popularity while containing various important information and having low Security levels and many users, data theft for creating growing data bases seems to become a real “opportunity” for hackers. Our study aims to analyse the Security culture of smart devices users on a quota sample and to provide an idea about the dimension of risk associated with the personal smart devices’ lack of security, ways of managing their risk when used daily, along with improvement proposals for this state of affairs.
