With an increasing number of endpoints and expanding attack surfaces, dodgy apps can offer a way around your firewall.

Let's explore why cybersecurity leaders should take matters into their own hands - rather than waiting for the government - and blacklist certain apps from their network.

To start, investigate the apps used by your business and research the companies behind them.

One approach creates containers within employee-owned devices where corporate data and apps are stored.
