Securing Your Mobile Workforce with Advanced AI and ML

Cybersecurity Trends in Mobile Devices

In recent years, the cybersecurity landscape has evolved dramatically, with mobile devices becoming a prime target for threat actors. As of 2020, there were around 42 million instances of mobile malware attacks. This surge in mobile threats has given rise to the Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) market, currently valued at approximately $350 million. A significant concern is the leakage of personally identifiable information (PII) from mobile applications, with about one in five apps having the potential to expose user data to vulnerable sources.

Introduction to Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)

MTD solutions are designed to counter malicious threats to iOS, Android, and, more recently, Chromebook devices. These products play a crucial role in enhancing mobile security posture across organizations, especially as mobile devices are increasingly used for work purposes. The analyst industry views MTD as essential for maintaining security hygiene across mobile devices.
