Intelligent Risk Management Framework for BYOD

The current information security risk management systems mainly focus on networking related risks that apply to network devices and users. However, risk management landscape has changed in recent years as new smart, mobile devices have been incorporated into the business networks to enhance productivity. This new phenomenon is called Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) environment. The traditional risk management plans suffer from emerging threats that exist in BOYD environment. It is imperative to have an effective risk management system for the BOYD environment to efficiently deal with privacy breaches loss of business data and data leakage. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel approach which utilizes MDM log file to proactively detect potential threats in BYOD environment and take preventive and mitigative measures in real time.
