“…An increasing number of individuals bring their own IT to companies, partly to conduct corporate tasks, but also outside their corporate duties; for instance, to check private mails or surf the Internet (Venkatraman et al 2018). Individuals bringing their own IT to companies is both a challenge and an opportunity (Garba et al 2015;Weeger et al 2016). From the behavioral side, this trend is likely to have an impact on individual work tasks, since individuals might be more used to using their own IT, but also their increasing IT skills that they acquire outside the firm, can be helpful within the firm.…”

“…1). It is the new generation of technology-savvy individuals who have triggered this shift and feel more comfortable using their privatelyowned devices for the ease of convenience to fulfill their business tasks more efficiently and effectively (Garba, Armarego, Murray, & Kenworthy, 2015). This has enabled the organization to leverage innovation capabilities of employees in the age of consumerization of IT (Koffer, Ortbach, Junglas, Niehaves, & Harris, 2015).…”

“…Ogie (2016) further argues that this approach monitors location, policies, alerts and rules and also includes connection set-up, device registration, passcode, user authentication, compliance and encryption. MDM also restricts the usage of camera and cloud service making the device even more secured (Garba et al, 2015). This creates psychological reluctance to being controlled and monitored because of MDM agent installed on their devices (Koh, Oh, & Im, 2014).…”

“…But MDM's unified approach uses the same tools for all devices and servers, which may be very confusing due to the compatibility issues of different devices. This also makes users loose their flexibility (Garba et al, 2015). Moreover, this unified approach helps create security policies on the whole device or/and whole of the organization thus creating problems for users because of the contradictory policies for different devices or/and if somebody has multiple responsibilities in different organizations (Wang et al, 2014).…”

The paper is based on literature review and attempts to discuss what consumerization of IT is and how such consumerization has evolved. The paper further presents an overview of an expansion and usage of BYODs (Bring Your Own Devices) across the world followed by a brief description of its advantages. Further, the paper argues if the consumerization of IT has led to an individual innovative behavior. Subsequently, the paper delves into the risks and challenges associated with it and discuss what those risks and challenges are. Finally, the paper discuss the mechanisms to mitigate security risks and if loopholes around mitigating such risks can be overcome.

“…The current disruptive trends in the form of bring your own device (BYOD) that have infiltrated the information technology (IT) landscape across all industries not only require that organisations upgrade the way they manage their information security (IS), but also demand that every organisation builds a solid and practical approach towards IS. These challenges come in the form of IS breaches, potential system intrusions, data losses, and improper exposures resulting from these disruptive tendencies (Garba, Armarego, Murray, & Kenworthy, ). Eschelbeck and Schwartzberg () warned that BYOD in the workplace has become the rule rather than the exception, and the affected organisations will need to devise a strategy to mitigate the risks that BYOD introduces.…”

As bring your own device (BYOD) becomes part of workplace tools for employees in Zimbabwe, the responsibility to implement information security management methods, which was traditionally confined to the information technology (IT) employees, has extended to all the employees, who now become unintended administrators because of the usage of their devices. The purpose of this paper is to show how banks can mitigate the information security risks caused by the unintended administrator using the BYOD information security behavioural (BISB) model. A literature review of the BYOD information security and organisational information security culture was conducted. A questionnaire was developed from the literature and sent to 270 bank employees in Zimbabwe. A total of 205 employees participated, and 179 completed the questionnaire. An expert review consisting of chief information officers (CIOs) at banks in Zimbabwe was conducted to evaluate the proposed model. From the literature review, individual traits of attitude, knowledge, and habit, as well as organisational traits of the environment, governance, and training, were identified as key traits that constituted the constructs of the BISB model. The overall theme of this paper is that banks can mitigate the BYOD information security challenges by using of the BISB model. KEYWORDSbring your own device, BYOD information security behavioural model, information security culture, unintended administrator This paper starts by providing an overview of how BYOD has affected the way IS is managed in organisations and indicates how the employees who own such devices have become unintended administrators in the BYOD phenomenon. The security risks that the unintended administrators introduce to the organisation because of BYOD forms the research problem that this paper attempts to address. The identification of individual and organisational traits forming the constructs for the BYOD information security behavioural (BISB) model is then discussed, which leads to the statistical survey that tested these constructs.The next section discusses the background on the emergence of the unintended administrator in the workplace. | BACKGROUNDBYOD is emerging as the new norm in modern business computing trends. All organisations that are serious about remaining relevant in the digital era are searching for BYOD security solutions (Brodin, 2016a). Digital transformation visionaries such as Wood (2004) and Morrow (2012) share the sentiment that IS in all organisations is now multidisciplinary, multidepartmental, and multiorganisational. This paper explores the multidepartmental nature of IS. Lim and Churchill (2016) further argue that the management of IS in earlier decades was strictly technical and fell under the exclusive management of an organisation's information technologists. Since 2010, a shift occurred away from specialised management of IS by IT administrators to the management of IS by employees in the various departments of the organisation (Keyes, 2013). The management of IS has al...
