The ultimate solution for securing mobile communications and devices
Cybercrime is adapting to an increasingly mobile world
High profile data thefts, leaks and cyber-attacks now make headlines on a near-daily basis. And as the world becomes increasingly mobile-focused, so do cyber-criminals. Mobile security which covers both secure communication and data protection along with mobile device security is required in this context.
In its Mobile Security Index, Verizon reports that one third of companies are already victims of data leaks via mobile phones. The problem is not confined to private enterprise. Pressure on the public sector to innovate and digitalize is just as intense. As a result, 75% of public organizations report that mobile devices are critical to the smooth running of their operations (Verizon, Mobile Security Index 2020: Public sector spotlight). Mobile security must be addressed as mobility solutions offer gateways to organizations’ IT system (governments, administrations, enterprises). Cyberattacks can result in heavy financial losses and can lead to impacts on national security. The latest reform of data protection rules in the EU imposes enterprises to implement adequate measures to protect personal data, or risk a fine of up to 4% of the enterprise total turnover in the case of compliance failure.
Cybercrime is sometimes described as “the new 21st century threat” Everyone is affected, multiple risks are associated with it:
- Leaks in classified information
- Theft of industrial secrets
- Loss of sales opportunities
- Theft of customer database
- Service interruption
- Damages to reputation
- Communications interception
