“…BYOD and mobile applications involve security issues not only threatening their adoption and diffusion ( Balapour, Nikkhah, & Sabherwal, 2020 ) but also increasing the threats to organizational data, for several reasons. First, hyperconnected BYOD tools increase the complexity of network protection because they can connect to several types of networks (cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC), ( Breitinger, Tully-Doyle, & Hassenfeldt, 2020 ; McLeod & Dolezel, 2018 ; Palanisamy et al, 2020 ) and to cloud computing resources, thereby increasing the risks ( Ding et al, 2014 ; Gupta, Seetharaman, & Raj, 2013 ; Lian, Yen, & Wang, 2014 ; Morrow, 2012 ; Sultan, 2014 ). Smartphones and tablets are increasingly connected to applications, storage or other digital services, resulting in greater risks ( Mustafa & Kar, 2019 ).…”
