Abstract: This paper highlights the way in which Chief Information Officers (CIOs) can mitigate the challenges that are posed by the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon. In terms of this phenomenon, employees inadvertently become unintended administrators as they have control of the devices they use. Previously, information security management was the preserve of the CIO and the Information Technology (IT) department, where trained IT employees managed all devices. Consequently, the advent of BYOD has shifted much of the responsibility from the IT personnel to the organisation’s employees. This paper presents an employee behavioural management approach that CIOs may adopt to mitigate the BYOD information security challenges. This paper addresses the impact of BYOD, on the CIO’s functional, transformational and strategic roles. Subsequently, an employee behavioural intention model is recommended as a way of mitigating these challenges. This BYOD Information Security Behavioural model, which was evaluated through an expert review process with CIOs in the Zimbabwe banking sector, encompasses six constructs: attitude, knowledge, habit, environment, governance and training.
