"Mobile devices have fundamentally changed the way businesses conduct themselves. The promise of unleashing productivity by untethering the workforce has driven adoption of new technologies such as smartphones and tablets across Enterprises globally. But the security concerns BYOD and corporate-owned devices bring along with it cannot be ignored. The introduction of such devices, and the apps they carry into the workplace, often precedes the ability to test and secure them. As a result, mobile devices and mobile apps present unique technological, legal, and security challenges for IT and Security professionals. The risks arise from liabilities involved in granting access to sensitive personal or financial information, or exposing corporate assets such as intellectual property or confidential information that could be breached. Gartner predicts that by 2017 the majority of malware authors will have turned from PC endpoints to mobile devices. Enterprises have to dramatically shift their way of thinking to simultaneously encourage and embrace the influx of mobile devices, and more importantly, mobile apps, into the workplace while meeting internal and regulatory security requirements. Appthority\u2019s Enterprise Mobile Threat Team (EMTT) was created to monitor and research the latest mobile risks that are direct threats to the enterprise. The purpose is to help organizations holistically assess and protect their people, data, applications, and networks from risks and exposures in the mobile threat landscape. The EMTT is composed of security industry veterans that have decades of experience in protecting mobile devices. We are proud to present our first quarterly edition of the Enterprise Mobile Threat Report that explores the current challenges faced in mobile security. We review the new challenges and risks that Enterprises face that accompany paradigm changes such as Dead Apps, the latest trends in mobile malware and other issues related to securing mobile devices\u2014and your Enterprise. We invite you to follow our latest findings on our blog: www.appthority.com/enterprise-mobile-threats."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
