Lookout , the global leader in mobile security, in partnership with Ponemon Institute , an independent research company focused on privacy, data protection, and information security, today released The Economic Risk of Confidential Data on Mobile Devices in the Workplace . Based on a study of 588 IT and security leaders at Global 2,000 companies, this report examines the risk introduced by employees accessing increasing amounts of corporate data via their mobile devices and assigns a cost to a mobile-related breach. While data breaches make great headlines, what is often missing from those reports are the details on how the attackers got into the organization in the first place. This new research from Lookout and Ponemon reveals that mobile devices can be a critical part of any cyber attack.
