Briefing Notes

Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, have become essential to our everyday lives both at work and at home. However with this increased use of mobile, new avenues for cyberattacks, especially phishing attacks, have emerged. Cybercriminals have recognized the potential value in exploiting channels such as social media, messaging services and mobile apps, to steal information from users. This whitepaper looks at the rising threat of mobile phishing and what organizations can do to protect their devices.

Much has changed in enterprise mobility since the launch of the iPhone ten years ago. Among other things, we've seen improvements in the underlying operating systems, better enterprise support and the emergence of mature mobility management platforms. But significant and persistent mobile threats remain. The whitepaper explains the nature of these threats and the steps every enterprise needs to take to protect sensitive information in an ever-connected world.

Enterprise mobile data consumption is growing at close to 100% annually and some analysts believe it will have increased tenfold by the end of the decade. Corrata’s Enterprise Mobility Control whitepaper explains why this is happening and what organizations need to do to manage the cost, productivity and risk implications of this data tsunami. Revised to include the impact of the end of EU roaming and Brexit.

While there are a range of tools aimed at thwarting mobile phone attacks available, their effectiveness against the latest cyber attacks is questionable. Let's examine how today's tools would have worked when confronted by a modern threat such as the recent WhatsApp Pegasus spyware hack.

Free Wi-Fi is a phrase so commonly heard today that we come to expect it in most public places. The vast majority of hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and transport systems today offer some form of Wi-Fi network for guests and customers but are they always safe? Unencrypted internet traffic on public networks can easily be intercepted by hackers, putting our sensitive data at risk.

With over 46,000 new sites created every day, phishing continues to rise as one of the greatest threats currently facing mobile devices. Our phones are quickly becoming our most important means of communication for our personal and professional lives, but as technology has become more advanced so too has the sophistication and frequency of phishing attacks.
