Security Threats, Defenses, and Recommended Practices for Enterprise Mobility
2018 · Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) Journal, Volume 16, Number 5
- Perspective
Research question
What does the paper try to establish?
What threats, defenses, and recommended organizational practices should enterprises consider when employees and services rely on mobile devices?
Central answer
What is the proposed answer?
The title establishes a practitioner guidance objective, but no source-audited answer can be represented: the public record does not expose the article's threat taxonomy, recommendation set, evidence base, scope, or assumptions.
Evidence profile
Six dimensions, kept separate
The chart summarizes documented evidence and process. It is not a correctness probability, confidence score, or ranking, and no composite score is calculated.
LowMediumHighN/A = not assessed
A smaller value means less documented support for that dimension, not that the paper is false or unimportant.
- Epistemic evidence Low
-
Only bibliographic facts and a title-derived orientation are auditable; no substantive claim, recommendation, evidence source, or limitation could be checked against the article.
Publisher confirmation of title and authors Independent bibliographic page-range confirmation - Auditability Medium
-
The resource record provides only official publication metadata and no public archive or author-hosted copy. Under the author-defined rule, this makes Auditability Medium rather than High.
Publisher confirmation of title and authors Author publication listing - Production provenance Medium
-
Named authorship, author biographies, month, volume, issue, and pages establish baseline provenance. Contributor roles, revision history, source materials, conflicts, and approval trail are unavailable.
Publisher confirmation of title and authors Independent bibliographic page-range confirmation - External scrutiny Medium
-
ISSA Journal publication establishes editorial exposure, but peer-review status, review reports, correction history, and independent validation are unknown.
Publisher confirmation of title and authors - Reception Low
-
The dated search located two explicit downstream references and no OpenAlex exact-title record. Under the author-defined corpus rule, 0 through 8 located citations is Low.
Independent bibliographic page-range confirmation Located non-academic citation signal Dated exact-title index search - Contribution significance Not assessed
-
The unavailable article body prevents assessment of novelty, breadth, prioritization, or whether its recommendations changed practice; a title alone is insufficient to rate significance.

title derivedWhich security risks arise in enterprise mobility, and which defensive practices should organizations adopt? This wording is a conservative restatement of the title, not a quotation or source-audited research question.

contribution Perspective and guidance orientation
title and venue onlyThe verified title frames the work as threat/defense synthesis and recommended practice, supporting the Perspective label. It does not establish a new protocol, primitive, system, algorithm, dataset, or formal theorem.

claim group Substantive claims not represented
unavailableNo threat taxonomy, defense mapping, recommendation, case study, empirical result, standards reference, or prioritization claim is included in this map because none could be checked against the article.

evidence group Evidence unavailable for audit
unavailableThe public records do not reveal whether the guidance derives from literature review, field experience, government programs, incident data, standards analysis, or author judgment.

limitation group Map boundary material
Without the article, its definition of enterprise mobility, covered platforms, adversary model, organizational assumptions, date-sensitive recommendations, and limitations remain unknown.

limitation Time-sensitive practice guidance
editorial cautionAny 2018 platform, product, threat, or practice recommendation may now be historically informative rather than current. The missing text prevents identifying which statements are stable principles and which are time-bound.

bounded search resultExact-title searches located an independent dissertation bibliography and a patent-family citation listing. OpenAlex returned no exact-title work record, so these are minimum located signals rather than a comprehensive citation count.
