Mobile-specific threats, phishing sites and vulnerabilities are on the rise. Even worse, hackers often use mobile devices as a backdoor into the agency’s enterprise network.
Is your agency aware of the four main types of mobile threats? Here’s a closer look and a few tips for reducing risk:
- Phishing and malicious web content: To help prevent attacks, urge users not to open a text message from an unknown number, especially one that seems to create a sense of urgency.
- Unpatched vulnerabilities: Use multilayered protection to help guard against operating system-level vulnerabilities.
- Mobile app threats: To defend against these threats, rely on advanced mobile threat intelligence and security solutions.
- Device risks: Require users to follow basic cyber hygiene.
