Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The dramatic spreading of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) brings new information security risks and threats. These have to be taken seriously because they are weakening not just our personal security but the security of the organizations too. The security of organizations is mainly based on the attitude for security of the organizational members. Accordingly, the exploration of their approaches of their mobile devices' security is a must. In our paper we have investigated the safety consciousness of the mobile phone users to find out how they perceive the security of their smartphones. Our hypothesis is that the users mostly not aware at all that they datas and sensitive information at risk.
