Bring your
own device (BYOD) is a concept of employees using their personal devices to
access the organization's network and resources. While it provides advantages
such as increased efficiency and productivity, it also provides security risks
to organizations such as data breaches and security issues, if an employee’s
device is stolen or lost and vulnerable to malware and other security threats
since the personal devices are not secure than company-owned devices. To
enhance corporate infrastructure security in a BYOD environment, this paper
proposes four mechanisms by addressing four issues. The first mechanism is
preventing users from accessing the organisation’s documents after their
termination which helps to protect confidentiality. Second, detecting suspicious
user behaviour through location-based anomaly detection helps to identify
whether the device is stolen or lost. Third, assigning permissions based on
user roles using a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) prevents unauthorized
device access. Furthermore, employing an Application-Aware Virtual Network
Adapter solution helps identify data types and ensures secure usage of
corporate data simultaneously. By combining these features, a robust security
environment can be achieved, effectively mitigating the risks associated with
BYOD. Adopting these comprehensive security approaches allows organizations to
reduce BYOD-related risks and safeguard their sensitive data effectively.
