How secure is your mobile phone?

It’s a common misconception that there are no security threats to mobiles.  However, you wouldn’t dare run your computer without a level of security right? Yet we don’t protect our mobile phones.  Why?

 

You may be surprised at how simple it is for a hacker to access your mobile. How vulnerable are you?  Let me ask you this. Have you ever connected to a free Wi-Fi hotspot at the local café?  It may look legitimate, but you could be connecting to a hacker who now has access to your data and passwords.

 

What about Apps? They are great for business, not to mention our social lives! Downloaded an app recently? Did you know that in December last year one of the world’s most respected mobile manufacturers released 50 Apps to market that contained malicious code.  We are exposed!

 

The mobile phone has become our social playground, our personal banking platform, our business tool and even our main source of entertainment. Security is a major concern and a growing concern for businesses that we speak to is user productivity.  Are your users watching Netflix or accessing Facebook whilst they should be working?

 

If you are feeling overwhelmed right now, don’t be alarmed, you are not alone!  We understand that managing users with the multiple devices, the right apps, the right OS software and ensuring users are on the right plans is rather time consuming and complex. We may be able to help!  First, let me share some interesting statistics with you.

 

Did you know?

• Unknowingly, 11% of corporate devices attempt to access “high risk” content every day
• 27% of corporate devices run out-of-date software with a high severity rating
• 52% of internet traffic now takes place on a mobile phone

 

Each minute there are:

• 70,017 hours of Netflix watched
• 342,000 apps downloaded from the App Store and Google Play
• 4.1 million Youtube views
• 900,000 Facebook logins
• 16 million Text Messages

 

Big data bundles protect you from overspend, but who is protecting your data and how do you know that your users are doing the right thing at work?
