The number of mobile subscribers continues to grow at astonishing rates. In 2000, there were approximately 720 million subscribers around the world. In 2012, that number reached six billion.

Let’s also consider these statistics:

• In 2014 the number of cell phones (7.3 billion) exceeded the number of people on the planet (7 billion). (1)
• 138 billion apps were downloaded in 2014. (2)
• Half of employers will require BYOD by 2017 (3)
• Mobile malware is growing. Malicious code is infecting more than 11.6 million mobile devices at any given time. (4)
• Mobile devices and the apps we rely on are under attack. 97% of top paid android apps have been hacked. 87% of top paid iOS apps have been hacked . (5)

While the proliferation of mobile devices provides great flexibility and agility for organizations, it also increases the complexity of data protection. As mobile grows, so too does the security threat landscape.
