Abstract
Recent years have seen a surge in the introduction of networkable Windows-based operating system (NWOS) devices. Some examples are home entertainment systems (e.g., Xbox), smart phones (e.g., Motorola i930 and PlamOne’s Treo), and Pocket PC (e.g., Toshiba e850). While NWOS devices present an appealing proposition for both software vendors and buyers in terms of the flexibility to add supplementary software applications, such devices also introduce new challenges in terms of managing information security risks. NWOS devices are particularly vulnerable to information security threats because of the vendors’ and buyers’ lack of awareness of the security risks associated with such devices. In addition to the direct damage to business operations that an infected NWOS device might cause, other consequences may also include alienated customers and a tarnished reputation (Austin & Darby, 2003).
