This report is not only about the cost to businesses of mobile threats and data breaches, but also about the reasons why many companies do not protect themselves adequately against mobile threats. For this, the Ponemon Institute surveyed 588 IT and IT security experts from US Global2000 companies.<\/p>\n
The weak points<\/strong><\/p>\n The majority of IT and security professionals believe employee mobile devices are vulnerable to hacking (83 percent). Two-thirds (67 percent) of Global2000 companies report that their organization has experienced data breaches resulting from employees using mobile devices to access company data.<\/p>\n The extent of mobile access to corporate data is increasing - by 43 percent from 2014 to 2015. Approximately 56 percent of the data accessible on PCs is also accessible on mobile devices.<\/p>\n In the companies included in the report, employees use about 54,000 mobile devices. Respondents indicate that probably three percent of mobile devices, or about 1,700 devices, are infected with malware at any given time. On average, 26 percent of infected mobile devices are detected or identified.<\/p>\n
