Today, every business is mobile. Across enterprises of all sizes, everyone from entrepreneurs and executives to knowledge workers needs to get online and access business data and files using smartphones, laptops and tablets.

Employees using their personal devices to access corporate applications and data can put their organizations at risk when they lose or misuse their devices. In addition, cybercriminals are capitalizing on these trends by building mobile malware to infiltrate networks and steal data. Mobile risk is on the rise.
