The statistics are sobering: 61% of CISOs (and 53% of CEOs) think that their organization is unprepared to cope with a targeted cyberattack in the next 12 months. With mobile devices now making up a large part—even the majority—of the device estate, mobile security is more important than ever. Those managing security must protect a growing number and diversity of endpoints. Increasingly, those endpoints are mobile or using mobile connectivity. Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, hybrid working and the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) have multiplied the scale and complexity of protecting endpoints. This ultimately affects the business, its employees, shareholders and customers.
The Version MSI White Paper report, looks at some of the biggest threats to mobile devices—from the phone in your pocket to the predictive maintenance sensors on a 5-ton steel press.
In the 2022 edition of the Mobile Security Index, analysts reported that nearly two-thirds (66%) of respondents said that they’d come under pressure to sacrifice mobile device security “to get the job done.” Of those, 79% (or 52% of all respondents) had succumbed to that pressure. In the 2023 white paper, researchers look at the challenges of balancing security with user experience, privacy, freedom and cost. Version offers some guidance on how to strike this balance.
