As enterprise mobility continues to grow and the role mobile technology plays in the everyday lives of employees becomes increasingly normalized, it is more important than ever for companies to ensure they are prepared for the future.

One that requires resources dedicated solely to monitoring, managing, updating and protecting information around the clock. The growth of mobile in the workforce has only provided more opportunities for criminals to access and steal critical and confidential data.
Companies able to prevent these types of attacks and breaches are successful because they incorporated the following protection measures:
