It’s a mobile phone world. For most of us, they’re the last thing we look at before bed and the first thing we check in the morning. Personal mobile devices go with us to work and help make the day more productive. For employers, these devices justifiably cause big cybersecurity concerns.
Yet, the mobile phone is fast-tracking its way into almost every business. IT professionals believe that mobile devices will impact their organizations as much or more than the Internet did in the 1990s. Future predictions indicate there’s no stopping acceleration of this trend.
The use of smartphones, personal cloud services, external hard drives, and USBs means sensitive data can not only make employee search and sharing of information difficult—but allow data to walk right out your door.
Mobile devices also allow business communication through social applications like Twitter direct messaging, Facebook Messenger and LinkedIn inMail. While easier to regulate, they may not comply with your organization’s security infrastructure.
Hackers watch all the trends and take full advantage of finding ways to make money off the unwary. With the use of inexpensive equipment, they can gain access to a mobile phone in less than 30 seconds and see everything on the phone, or install malware they can use to siphon off data and use it anytime they choose.

While mobile device threats are increasing and can result in security breaches, data loss, and compliance violations—it doesn’t have to happen in your organization. Mobile device management can give your organization the confidence and support needed to help keep users happy and your business competitive and thriving.
