Mobile Devices

---

The use of mobile devices has risen dramatically in recent years and will continue to grow as technology advances, and our desires change. While shielding desktops and laptops with security software are common practice, many users do not provide the same protection to their wireless internet devices. Thanks to the current technology level, wireless devices can often perform many of the same tasks a desktop can, such as storing large amounts of vulnerable and personal data. The essential security tools that wireless devices usually come with, such as password or pin authorization or fingerprint scanning, help prevent unauthorized access, although any skilled cybercriminal can bypass these shields with minimal effort.

Speaking from a cybersecurity perspective, smartphones have a long list of potential security problems, including data leaks, improperly configured Wi-Fi settings, phishing attacks, spyware, malicious apps, weak password policies, out-of-date software, and identity theft. To make matters worse, for organizations that utilize BYOD policies, relying on employees to adequately protect their devices often leads to disaster. As the IoT (Internet of Things) grows, more devices are added to the networks that we cybersecurity professionals are tasked with securing, thus making our jobs much more challenging.
