Abstract

Today mobile devices, namely smartphones and tablets, are the most popular and used devices. This reality makes companies willing to support mobile devices, which in turn increase the productivity of their employees by allowing them to perform several tasks and to be always updated on the move. However, in spite of the advance in mobile technologies, security is still the primary barrier to the adoption of mobile applications within the enterprise. Some companies avoid the use of mobile business applications due to the fear of security risks. Guidelines and risk catalogues give an overview on the potential risks when using particular applications. Typically, the existing guidelines and risk catalogues target IT-professionals, but not business users who mostly do not have the required technical knowledge to understand the risks. Thus, in this paper, potential risks to companies when adopting mobile business applications are presented in a risk catalogue including the potential mobile threats along with their likelihood of occurrence and possible malicious impact on business. This catalogue will help business users in reinforcing their awareness of possible mobile security risks.
