However despite the trend toward mobility and flexibility in IT there is a significant requirement for BYOD users to re-evaluate their attitude toward the security of their own devices and the resources they utilize on the cloud. This paper outlines an evaluation of business user's attitudes towards utilizing their own devices for business. The paper also outlines the results of a survey of on business users attitudes towards resources stored on the cloud. Finally recommendations are made regarding the best practice in aiding the users comprehension of security risks in BYOD and the Cloud
