Chassidim, H., Perentis, C., Toch, E., & Lepri, B. (2020). Between privacy and security: the factors that drive intentions to use cyber-security applications. Behaviour & Information Technology, 1-15.

Chassidim and his colleagues looked at the difference between security and privacy and the factors driving individuals and firms to use cyber-security apps. The authors examined factors that affect the will to install security apps by considering the levels of invasion and safety features of cyber-security apps. They suggest a language that portrays security coverage features and privacy invasiveness levels. The findings show that some privacy attacks might imply that the security apps offer less safety. This article is useful because installing security applications helps to shield against phishing emails, harmful apps, and other risks within the operating systems. Although such apps can offer important safety, they can also access personal data. Therefore, people should assess the gap between the safety features and the attack on confidentiality when choosing the safety features to apply. Although Chassidim and his colleagues offers a sound comparison between security and privacy, there are more factors that make the users more willing to use cyber-security apps.

In 2018, Dan-Şuteu looked at how to boost cyber security innovation using public and private projects. According to the author, almost every aspect of human activity today is permeated with a component of cyber security. With the growing use of mobile devices and cyber security options, there should be devices and tools to protect personal and organizational information. Trend analysis shows a rise in the complexity and the number of attacks by malware tossed against the growing mobile terminals and networks. Mobile phones are susceptible to cyber threats because of their unsafe access to various digital resources. Therefore, cyber-attacks taxonomies would boost the assessment and analysis of the malware’s influence over the working of networks and terminals. To differentiate between the evil and legitimate behavior, there should be continuous efforts in the cyber security society to analyze the modus-operandi of applicable viruses through public and private research projects. Although this article is useful in the study topic because many malicious actors distribute viruses through different methods, it should also consider how they use the affected devices as a launchpad for additional cyber-attacks.

In 2017, Eustace and colleagues described case studies about factors in both individual, public, and cyber security within the Asian Pacific area. They deeply examined the impact of the “Internet of Things,” human factors, as well as cyber security education regarding the actions and behavior applied by people as the grounds for cyber security and public safety. According to the authors, cyber criminals’ growing distraction, particularly when applying applications and devices to interrelate with extensive systems raising concern. Through the three case studies, the authors proposed a Self-awareness Intervention Model for security and safety by growing and preserving the cognizance, preparedness, and understanding of cyber security measures by people when utilizing phone apps to take part in the extensive social networks. In their conclusion, the authors highlight the importance of using human factors and framing messages together with the available cyber security measures. Although this article contributes widely to understanding some approaches about the management of cyber security in mobile devices, more approaches need to be done.

Herrera, A. V., Ron, M., & Rabadão, C. (2017). National cyber-security policies oriented to BYOD (bring your own device): Systematic review. In 2017 12th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI) (pp. 1-4). IEEE.

Herrera and Rabadao (2017) looked at the modern trends in technology, particularly, Bring Your Own device that allows workers to use their own devices to work by connecting to corporate resources and networks. According to the authors, there are some corporate guidelines in most firms globally that focus on BYOD, but they do not exist in Ecuador. However, such technology is being used, even though employers do not allow them because of the intrinsic safety threats, without an awareness that BYOD has more benefits. These include increasing its financial stability, improving its communication efficiency, and helping to remote operations. However, there are no formal guidelines in Ecuador, and the legal framework of this human activity has not been established. The policies control the action and lead its application correctly and safely to give users confidentiality in every economic and social activity. To explain the issue, the authors used a systematic analysis of BYOD’s actual state, its impact, and trend, and propose recommendations concerned with having a National Policy in the country. Although the article shows the challenges posed by cyber-security threats in some countries, it should specifically addressed the issue in a specific country.

In 2018, Samandari and his colleagues evaluated the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on mobile devices. IoT comprises mixed devices that interchange information without needing human-to-computer or human-to-human connections. According to the article, there are several vulnerabilities associated with the heterogeneity of the IoT system. Therefore, the approaches to the analysis of static system security cannot arrest such modification. To solve the problem, the authors used an IoT security valuation method by demonstrating various mobile IoT devices movement patterns. They used graphical safety models and other security metrics to examine network security and demonstrated the security position when considering mobility. Using the prevailing artificial mobility models, such as Gauss-Markov, Random Waypoint, as well as the Reference Point Group, the results showed changing surface attack of the IoT systems after considering the devices. This article shows how the flexibility of IoT devices brings possible vibrant modifications to the surfaces of attack of IoT systems but it should also consider other devices, such as desktop computers.
