With the wave of IT consumerization being faced by most enterprises today, CISOs no longer have the option of not allowing Smartphone’s, tablets and other mobile devices from connecting to the corporate network and accessing corporate data.

With so much organization data floating around in the palms of employees, corporate data theft is also on the rise. A loss of any such device would allow an adversary access to confidential emails and documents stored on the mobile device.

In today’s world where technology rule people’s lives and work space, attackers have also become sophisticated in their methodology. Rather than targeting an organization’s well protected email server – for which an attacker would have to bypass layers of security, including IPS, firewalls – attackers have now begun to focus on softer targets: the user endpoints – mobile, tablet, laptops.
