• Enterprise mobility has created a new generation
  of workforce that no longer needs to remain glued
  to their desks or office premises for effective
  collaboration. But as the network of mobile
  devices increase, the security risks for the
  organization also increase.
• Security breaches can cost a lot to your
  organizations and hence should not be considered
  trivially. Let us go through the following steps
  which must be taken to protect your organization

3
Control BYOD

• As many organizations have bring-your-own-device
  (BYOD) policies in place in order to render
  mobility to their employees, cyber security
  threats may occur due to unauthorized app usage.
• As employees use their personal Smartphone's or
  tablets and download mobile apps to facilitate
  their work, your data may not be secure in those
  apps leading to Shadow IT (see next point for
  definition).

• Also to manage BYOD efficiently, provide your
  employees a list of apps that has been approved
  by your dedicated IT security team.
• Minimize Shadow IT
• Shadow IT is using mobile apps within an
  organization without even knowledge or approval
  of corporate IT and thus making the organization
  vulnerable to threats.

5

• To minimize this you would need to monitor your
  network for potential threats, educate your
  employees on the significance of mobile security
  strategies and ensure that they use approved apps
  exclusively.

Focus Mobile App Security

• Consult with mobile app development specialists
  about app security and convey them the
  implications of apps accessing data and
  interacting with other apps. Hence, security must
  be kept in mind while building them.

7
Watch For Vulnerabilities At The Right Place

• Ask your security teams to spend appropriate
  time assessing vulnerabilities such as
  application-based threats, lack of mobile
  security, web browsers or operating system
  applications. They must monitor the network
  continuously for threats.

8
Prioritize Mobile Security

• BYOD has its own benefits but at the same time
  it exposes your business to additional cyber
  threats.
• Make it a point to consult software development
  specialists to get an enterprise-grade solution
  delivered so that you can confidently access the
  cloud.

9
Prioritize Mobile Security

• Also contain breaches right at the source by
  prioritizing mobile security and also keep
  additional security strategies in place to
  successfully minimize threats to your business.
