Security and mobility have always remained intertwined and with a growing

number of businesses embracing enterprise mobility, security has become the

biggest concern. In spite of the fact that there has been more than 700% of increase

in tailor-made apps for enterprise in 2014, and more than one-third of CIOs believe

that enterprise mobility will have a tremendous impact, only a meager 54% of all IT

teams across the world have the confidence that their enterprise mobility is secure.

Clearly, a lot is at stake, and many businesses are actually reluctant to embrace

Enterprise Mobility Solutions from leading solution providers because of the

possible security risks involved in the same. The good news is that it is possible to

overcome the security concerns in a feasible way by hiring a team of professionals

from a reputed enterprise mobility solution provider. The best way is to go for

enterprise mobility consulting service so that one can know the possible security

threats to their business.

Key Security Hacks in 2016

Some of the key security hacks in 2016 in the arena of enterprise mobility are

therefore as follows:

• Device getting lost or stolen

• Virus and malware attack

• Manipulation of digital data

• Theft of card numbers

Although, there are many companies who lost millions due to such security hacks.

One example is of eBay, which faced the problem of virus and malware attack in

the months of February and March in 2014. Because of the security hack, the

contact information as well as the login information of eBay’s 233 million

customers was compromised severely. eBay even had to request all its users to

change their passwords.

Efficiency of MDM in handling security hacks

MDM or Mobile Device Management has emerged as the best possible solution to

handle security hacks within an enterprise mobility system. It not only ensures a

secure access to emails and wi-fi networks but also blacklist any rogue mobile

application instantly. By availing MDM solutions from any leading IT company

offering enterprise mobility solutions, you can have a peace of mind that even the

distribution of third party apps within a business is absolutely safe i.e. without any

security threat. MDM also wipes the entire corporate data from the mobile devices

of its employees when they are leaving the organization to prevent any misuse of

the same in the near future.

MDM also offers the much-needed support for BYOD by installing MDM software

on every mobile device used in an enterprise by the employees. This enables an

effective and effortless management of all the devices via a central admin console

and in the case of a mobile theft, the device can be tracked easily. This also enables

to monitor and secure the device. One can even delete some apps from a remote

location with the help of MDM.
