24th MEB Conference - Budapest, 24.04.2026

The rapid spread of digital technologies has brought many new opportunities, but at the same time it has created serious security risks. The aim of this study is to present the common risk patterns of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) practices and self-driving cars in the form of a literature review. Although the two areas appear to be far apart, they share similar problems: network vulnerabilities, lack of user awareness, and regulatory and management dilemmas. In the case of BYOD, the main threats are data theft, malware, and shadow IT, while in the case of self-driving cars, they are software updates and the manipulability of sensors and communication systems. In both areas, increasing user trust and awareness is key, as technological protection alone is not enough. Regulation and management also play a crucial role: without a proactive, risk-sensitive approach, security cannot be guaranteed. The study concludes that the strategies and attitude studies developed in the world of BYOD can serve as lessons for the social and technical introduction of self-driving cars, while the complex ecosystem of AVs can also provide new perspectives on corporate information security.
