Mobile devices contain vast amounts of sensitive data, financial information, and business-critical applications, making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. 

Neglecting your mobile security can lead to data breaches, intellectual property theft, and financial loss. Many organisations neglect mobile security due to a lack of awareness, inadequate security measures, and the assumption that traditional cybersecurity tools protect mobile devices, which is often not the case. Additionally, there is a common perception that mobile devices are less vulnerable to cyber-attacks, leading to complacency and inadequate security measures.  Investing in mobile security should be a priority for all businesses to mitigate the many risks associated with mobile threats.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is not a security tool, therefore is not sufficient to protect mobile devices from attacks such as malware, smishing, and other mobile-based attacks. 

Firstly, MDM focuses primarily on device-level management, such as configuration, application deployment, and remote wipe capabilities, rather than addressing the evolving landscape of mobile threats. 

Secondly, MDM may not provide adequate protection against advanced mobile-specific threats, such as mobile malware, network-based attacks, and phishing, which require specialized security measures beyond traditional MDM capabilities. 

Additionally, mobile devices often operate outside the traditional security perimeter, making them more vulnerable to attacks, and MDM may not offer sufficient protection in these scenarios. 

Lastly, user education and empowerment are essential components of mobile security, requiring solutions that go beyond the scope of MDM by incorporating mobile threat defense and real-time security monitoring to empower users to address threats on their own
