Bring your own device (BYOD) is the use of uncontrolled devices, which increases risks to business data and intellectual property. Like centralized and distributed computing adoption before it, the rapid proliferation of BYOD has outstripped security advances. The trend is growing due to the expectations of the Millennial workforce and its high familiarity with these devices. No extant academic studies have evaluated the nexus comprised by security, BYOD, and BYOD's strongest advocates: Millennials. This research reveals perceived security had no statistically significant influence upon either adoption intent or perceived usefulness of BYOD among Millennials. There did exist statistically significant influences between all other assessed exogenous and endogenous constructs. Compared with prior and contemporaneous study results, a clear disparity exists between evidence resulting from studies of corporate and academic environments; and between perceived security's influence within electronic banking and BYOD, upon adoption intent. This suggests areas for subsequent research assessing the locus of control differentiation between employees and employers; student and faculty; and differentiated information security risk factors. This quantitative, non-experimental, exploratory study evaluated the relationships between image, perceived benefit, perceived security, and the technology acceptance model 2 and their effects on the Millennial workforce's decision whether to adopt BYOD through surveys with not less than 191 Millennials employed within the United States.
