We are growing more and more dependent on mobile devices
than ever before. We used to rely on computers but mobile devices are more
compact and convenient to use. No doubt mobile devices have the countless benefits
in both professional and personal world but they also have the tendency to
expose sensitive data to the wrong personnel.
Cyber-crimes, hacking and identity theft are much more common
in today’s world than ever before and these threats are real. They should be
taken seriously. Previously, we have had strong threat defense for our personal
computers, desktops and laptops. Mobile devices never received such traction despite
the growing need of such threats.
Mobile technologies are getting more and more sophisticated
and they contain more personal data than before. The hacking and other digital
threats are also advancing rapidly. The mobile companies are recognizing the
volume of the threat and are now slowly transitioning to on-premises or
cloud-based services to decentralize data storage. In addition to that, the
antivirus and threat defense mechanisms are also being implanted in the mobile
phones to fight against malicious people or software.
