Abstract

The utilisation of work assigned mobile technology by enterprise staff to chat and upload contents to the social media applications for personal use has become a key issue for a significant number of enterprises. This work aims to understand the trends amongst the users of work assigned phones when unknowingly downloading and using applications which could breach the security of the enterprise. In this paper; we assess current trends amongst employees and organisations’ use and trust of hybrid and web based social media applications used on a daily basis to communicate. This information is then evaluated alongside human related cyber security risks presented by such applications to provide instructions and advice on the management of social media application use within organisations in the Healthcare, Education and Energy sectors. The findings may be employed to develop a more robust cyber security strategy which focuses at reducing the user related risks.
