| Abstract [eng] |
The use of personal mobile devices by SMEs is a widespread practice (Bring Your Own Device – BYOD), but it raises increasingly pressing cyber security issues. This article examines the impact of the use of personal mobile devices on business cyber security. Particular attention was paid to the preparedness of small enterprises to ensure cyber security when different personal mobile devices are used in the working environment. The purpose of this study is to answer the question: how the use of personal mobile devices affects the cyber security of small businesses and how mistakes can be avoided in order to create a unified model for SMEs to manage cyber security risks. The study included a descriptive research design, statistical analysis, multiple case studies (analysis of cyber security practices in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia); analysis of various strategies and standards; modeling and expert assessment (semi-structured interviews). The uniqueness of our model lies in the combination of integrated strategies and recommendations for managing various cyber security risk factors and enabling SMEs to manage risk using a holistic approach. This article contributes to the theory and practice of cyber security management by empirically identifying the factors that determine the implementation of cyber security strategies in small businesses when personal mobile devices are used, and applying the most appropriate measures to prevent cyber-attacks in small businesses analyzing the internal and external relationships of business cyber security and the factors that determine them. |
