Analysis of the use of the BYOD concept in corporate information systems

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of expanding the level of use of private terminal (terminal) programmable devices in corporate information systems and networks. It is noted that the main consumer of the "bring your own device" concept (BYOD concept) is the educational sphere, the sphere of services and the sphere of entertainment. As for the government sphere and the business sphere, the issue of spreading the BYOD concept is determined by the information that circulates in the corporate information systems and networks where it is used. And this, in turn, is related to the following security issues: leakage of company-sensitive information or state information with limited access through one's own mobile devices; penetration into the corporate information system and network. It is also stated that the spread of the BYOD concept is not so much of a technical nature as of a social-civilizational nature, since the frontmen of this concept are millennials - people who were born and grew up in the digital era and who cannot imagine their life without a private mobile device, and also have a completely different attitude to traditional approaches to learning and work. Ensuring a high level of cyber security when using the BYOD concept is possible if all issues of using private mobile devices in corporate information systems and networks are formalized and institutionalized. In addition, the concept of BYOD determines the need to establish certain restrictions, special software, the possibility of remote access and administration of private mobile devices, which in turn narrows its possibilities and reduces the boundaries of the use of the entire existing range of services, programs and content. Also, the implementation of the BYOD concept requires the readiness of the employees themselves to increase the level of self-control, self-discipline and allow remote access to their private mobile device, as well as restrictions.
