A new survey has found rising interest in mobile device management platforms to address mobile security threats. Still, few IT professionals indicate a real deployment of the platforms.

 

The survey found that 34 percent of respondents considered mobile devices a serious threat to business, and 55 percent said they were thinking more about the security of corporate smartphones and tablets than they did last year.

Despite the attention given to mobile malware and attacks targeting device owners, the biggest threat to enterprises are lost and stolen devices, according to most security experts.
