“…Employees may not stay all day in the office and if they leave the office early, they may continue to work at any place which they feel themselves comfortable. This is also appreciated by managers for being able to keep employees performing for longer hours (Madzima, Moyo, & Abdullah, 2014).…”

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, which allows employees to use their own mobile devices for work and connection to their corporate network, is getting popular in enterprises. While companies want to improve the efficiency and productivity of employees, employees prefer to use their own devices at work, which make them feel more comfortable and free. Although BYOD seems attractive, companies and employees have some security concerns in different and various ways. The aim of this study is to explore employee and organization perspectives about BYOD. Empirical part of the research has two parts: Qualitative and quantitative. Manager’s opinions were determined through a series of interviews and then the findings were analyzed. In quantitative part, a questionnaire has been developed based on the literature review and qualitative findings. 12 interviews and 93 surveys were used in the analysis. It has been found that while organizations and employees percept BYOD as having benefits in many ways, their security and privacy concern is a strong barrier on the implementation of BYOD policy.

“…Additionally, most of the mobile devices are exposed to these security challenges by unknowing users. Some organisations will certainly fail to manage with such challenges especially for a small-scale organisation due to budget constraints to manage all the types of mobile devices [27]. Therefore, organisations need to study, access and evaluate before mindlessly embracing the practice.…”

In today's world, the development of new technologies has transformed the way employees perform their tasks without the limit of time and place. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept to enable employees to perform their tasks with the limitless infrastructure, which allows mobility and access to anyone, anywhere using their own devices. The growing trends of BYOD have many benefits including increased employees’ productivity, increased employee satisfaction, and reduced costs. Despite the benefits, companies are also facing challenges such as security, loss and stolen of device and data, as well as malware attacks. One of the reasons for these challenges is that the BYOD policy is still not established and enforced in the public sector. Failure to create BYOD policy will have a negative impact on the organisation. However, issues and benefits are only anecdotes and they are not empirically studied in the public sector. Therefore, this study aims to identify benefits and challenges in Malaysian Public Sectors (MPS). Through literature review, benefits and challenges were extracted to list out the construct by measuring the frequency of constructs appearing in the literature. For that purpose, the quantitative survey will be conducted.

Such a system will allow and encourage company employees to bring their technology into the business setting to access company information; sometimes that information may be critical such as confidential records, databases, etc.…”

Abstract-This study analyzes the use of a Raspberry Pi (RPi) as part of a Penetration Tester's toolkit. The RPi's form factor, performance to cost ratio, used in conjunction with modified Linux, allows the RPi to be a very versatile product. Whatsmore, the RPi retails for $35 and is available from many hobby shops and on Amazon.com. Included in this research is the use of a virtual lab where the RPi is attached using an Ethernet connection. Simple attacks are carried out with a few suggestions for preventing this scenario from playing out in the real world.
