Protecting data from mobile threats and risks is critical now

In today's enterprises, mobile risks are high, but visibility is low. According to a recent study from CSOonline, 84% of respondents believe that the threat risk on mobile is "high" to "very high." Another 75% say their organizations need to increase visibility into mobile risks.

Having a security strategy that includes Mobile Threat Defense is essential to gaining that visibility as enterprises embrace digital transformation, allow mobile devices in the workplace, and become subject to global compliance regulations, such as GDPR.
