Introducing the 2021 Mobile Security Index Key Findings Terrance Robinson, Head of Security Solutions Dave Grady, Security Evanglist Mobile security is not a new concern, but as mobile devices become the heart of an organization’s IT estate, the stakes are getting higher. Insights from the 2021 Mobile Security Index (MSI) Report provide a benchmark for how security leaders are dealing with the rapid modernization of remote working. This year’s MSI report will reshape how security leaders tackle the ongoing challenges of malware, phishing, excessive app permissions and inappropriate usage. The MSI combines insights from a survey of 800+ security professionals with specialized and proprietary data from over a dozen leading security organizations – providing a unique report you can use to better mitigate risks associated with mobile security. Mobile security threats against public sector agencies are unique, and understanding how and why “bad actors” use certain tools and techniques to attack state, local and federal agencies is the first step in building a strong security program. Join Verizon security experts James Meehan and David Grady for a look at Verizon’s recent research on mobile security trends and learn how to better protect your mobile devices and your entire IT environment. During this webinar, you’ll learn… • about the many dimensions of mobile security, from smartphones to IoT and beyond • why security can enable -- or imperil -- remote work • how mobile security has evolved in the past 4 years • and how to use the Verizon MSI to enhance your security program
