What Is Mobile Security?

Mobile security is the protection of smartphone, tablet, laptop and other portable devices from threats of being hacked. The goal of mobile security is to keep unauthorized users from accessing the enterprise network.


Why Is Mobile Security Important for Business?

The number of mobile devices used in business have increased dramatically. It is common nowadays to let employees own a mobile device for work-related purposes. This draws attention to the cybercriminals to steal, expose, alter, disable or destroy information through unauthorized access to mobile devices.

Without mobile security measures, businesses can be vulnerable to corporate espionage, leakage of company and customer information, breach of company network, and even cause damage to brand & reputation. Security breaches can cause widespread disruptions in the business, including complicating IT operations and affecting employee’s productivity if systems must shut down.
