Use case

Securing mobile devices

If you use a smartphone or tablet, chances are it stores your personal and professional data: name, emails, passwords, financial information, photos, documents… Convenient, yes, but also vulnerable. 
Without proper protection, this data can be leaked, stolen, or misused. As an organization, securing mobile devices is now essential to avoid privacy breaches, financial losses, and reputational harm. 

Why does it matter?

Smartphones and tablets are now core tools for work and daily life, enabling access to corporate applications, emails, collaborative tools, and personal data, anytime, anywhere. This constant connectivity brings undeniable convenient, but also introduces new risks. Mobile endpoints are no longer just communication tools; they are gateways to critical business assets.

Unlike traditional endpoints, mobile devices operate across networks, download third-party applications, and are often used in BYOD contexts, making them highly exposed to cyberthreats. Yet, many organizations still rely on minimal or outdated protection methods, unaware that mobile security requires a dedicated, adaptive strategy.

Mobile devices face a growing range of sophisticated attacks

Phishing attacks via SMS and email

Fraudulent messages prompt users to click on malicious links or reveal credentials. These attacks bypass traditional filters and are often indistinguishable from real business messages.

Malicious applications disguised as tools

Some applications look legitimate but hide dangerous code. Once installed, they can exfiltrate data, spy on activity or download other malware silently.

Man-in-the-middle attacks

When users connect to unsecured public Wi-Fi or rogue cellular networks, attackers can intercept communications and steal sensitive data in real-time.

Spyware and background permissions abuse

Certain applications request unnecessary privileges. Once installed, they collect data in the background, including messages, contacts, photos without user awareness.

What’s at stake for your business

When a mobile device is compromised, the fallout can be immediate and severe:

Data leaks

Involving customer information, trade secrets or credentials

Compliance violations

(e.g. GDPR, HIPAA) leading to heavy fines

Business disruption

From ransomware or surveillance

Damage to brand trust

If an incident becomes public
