Abstract
The evolution of mobile technology has produced new methods and policies for organisations to process data and communicate. Bring your own device (BYOD), which allows employees to bring their own personal devices to work and access organisational resources for work purposes, is one such new policy. However, as this practice poses significant risks, organisations must implement commensurate security measures to protect their integrity. This paper aimed to mitigate these risks by proposing a decentralized and unassailable security control solution tailored to the BYOD environment. The proposed architecture leveraged business blockchain with smart contracts (SCs) to automate policy compliance and strictly adhere to organisational rules and regulations. The research demonstrated that this approach effectively reduces access control (AC) threats and enhances security policies and management. The findings highlighted that the implementation of SCs within a blockchain framework significantly improves the security of the BYOD environment by minimising the risks of unauthorised access, data breaches, and insider threats. Additionally, SCs enable organisations to establish decentralised and tamper-proof security control systems, reducing the dependence on centralised authorities and bolstering overall system integrity.
