MobileIron has released a report that paints a troubling picture of tension between C-suite executives and IT decision makers when it comes to mobile device security.
The findings, the report states, suggest "That C-suite executives often bypass their organization's mobile security protocols, putting businesses around the world at significant risk of a data breach and highlighting the need for newer technologies to allow employees to be secure and productive at the same time."
What organizations need to do to fix mobile device security.
C-suite executives have concerns that need to be addressed: Feeling like privacy is compromised by mobile security isn't a new complaint, after all, but neither is the idea that executives are bigger risks to organizational security.
MobileIron is a zero trust security provider that specializes in securing mobile devices, so it's no surprise that the report suggests implementing a zero trust approach, which can "Significantly reduce the level of risk to [an] organization by taking complete control of data as it flows across devices, applications, networks and cloud services - no matter who in the business is trying to access it."
