19 May 2015

Organizations lack control over mobile workspaces

The unmanaged personal computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets that make up almost one-third of the mobile BYOD used to access corporate data, combined with lack of controls, leave organizations vulnerable to data exposure.

The survey confirms that despite most organizations’ lack of readiness to support a mobile workforce, the number of mobile employees using BYOD is still growing. With so little insight into their own networks, and with their jobs on the line, it is unsurprising that almost one third of respondents still do not provide access to corporate data through a cloud application or service.

Top managers underestimated mobile threats

Mobile security breaches have affected a lot of organizations in the last 12 months. Despite this, organizations are still not taking sufficient security measures to protect themselves against mobile threats, such as lost or stolen devices and malware infections.

Around half of respondents' organizations who had suffered a mobile security breach, experienced more than four incidents in the last year. The research explores the attitudes of IT decision makers towards security within their organizations. While some personal or corporate owned mobile devices have full access to the internal networks or contain sensitive client information, a third of organizations do not have any kind of enforceable mobile security policy.
