Security Programs: Elements, BYOD Impact, and Risk Assessment

This report examines the key elements of security programs, focusing on confidentiality, availability, integrity, non-repudiation, and authenticity. It then analyzes the impact of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies on organizational mobile security plans. The report highlights potential risks associated with BYOD, such as data leakage, device and network impact, malicious applications, and difficulties in device management. It suggests that BYOD policies primarily facilitate document and email delivery, and can be risky for organizations. The report references several sources, including Exabeam, The Balance Careers, CIMCOR, and Privacy Rights, to support its findings and provide a comprehensive overview of the topic.

Key elements of good information security system
Based on the good information security system, the key elements considered are
confidentiality, availability, integrity, non-repudiation, and authenticity. These elements
define maintaining honesty, keeping the information confidential, and making easy use
(Cassetto, 2019).
Effect on organisation’s mobile security plan
In organisations, implementing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy has nothing
to do with security (Lucas, 2019). But, it effect the mobile security plan with the possibility
of data leakage, impact on device’s network, availability of malicious and fake applications
controlling the devices even within the presence of BYOD policy, the inability of controlling
devices, lack of management due to company’s wrong building and device infection because
of plans carrying any malware within the device (Privacy, 2014). Also, its presence mixes the
business and personal use certainly, and lastly, poor policies where BYOD can be effective in
terms of security at some places but is risky enough for organisation’s mobile security plan.
Thus, BYOD policy can only help organisations in delivering documents and e-mails through
work systems (Ogden, 2017).
