Furthermore, the same smartphones ease our lives being used as a tool for entertainment, navigation and access to valuable personal information. Regardless of these many benefits, the same smartphones may be used as a way to exploit valuable information and data for both users and every organization’s data, which can be crucial to the business need. This thesis, aims to find out the degree of maturity regarding the awareness and proper ways of using smartphones, from the aspect of cyber security for both technological measures and knowledge of both users, by using their personal smartphones for work related issues (BYOD) and organizations, issuing smartphones for work-related matters.
