One of the largest data security risks for most organizations continues to be mobile devices. Each employee may have 3 or 4 endpoint devices - smartphones, tablets, laptops - which are connecting to the corporate network or contain sensitive data. Many of these devices are personally-owned, and whether supported by an official BYOD policy or not, these devices are increasing the potential points of ingress for cyber criminals. Given the scope of the threat, one would expect that managing the endpoint would receive greater priority within IT security, but data indicates even basic precautions are still being overlooked.
