The Mobile Frontier: Securing Your Most Vulnerable Attack Surface

The Hidden Risk: Why Mobile is Your Weakest Link

With over 90% of the modern workforce relying on smartphones for daily operations, the "mobile perimeter" is your most vulnerable surface. Whether it's corporate-issued or BYOD, if you don't have a strategy to secure these devices and the data they access, you're leaving the door to your network and data wide open.

The mobile security landscape is changing the way that businesses have to look at risk. According to Verizon's 2025 Mobile Security Index report, 47% of the organizations surveyed reported downtime due to a mobile-related security incident and 63% of those reporting downtime reported major repercussions!

Many organizations are ramping up their budgets for mobile security, however, without the proper strategy, policies, training and tools in place, the increased cost may be wasted. Leverage our expertise in the mobile security space to maximize your budget and optimize your security strategy.

  • Network Security: Hardening devices against untrusted Wi-Fi and ensuring secure VPN configurations.

Mobile Policy Development

Design a custom mobile security policy including the following the areas:


  • BYOD vs. COPE Strategy: Define the rules for "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) versus "Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled" (COPE).


  • Acceptable Use Policy (AUP): Clear definitions of what is allowed on a device that touches corporate data (e.g., restricting TikTok on high-risk devices, prohibiting side-loaded apps).



  • Offboarding & Remote Wipe Protocols: Structured language for "Selective Wipe" (removing only corporate data) vs "Full Wipe", ensuring the business can protect its data when an employee leaves.

Strategic Technology Advisory

Help leadership choose and configure the right tools.



  • MDM/UEM Selection: Guidance on selecting and configuring Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) like Micr0soft Intune, Jamf or IBM's MaaS360.


  • Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) Strategy: Moving beyond simple management to active defense. Implementing tools that scan for malicious apps, attacks via Wi-Fi and Smishing attacks and other malicious links.


  • Containerization Strategy: Architecting a solution where work apps (Outlook, Teams, Salesforce) live in an encrypted "container" separate from personal data.
