Cyber security: Breaching the mobile phone security perimeter

The global security and privacy revolution has catapulted the process of managing, storing and exchanging data to unprecedented levels. According to a GSMA report, over 5 billion people globally are connected to mobile devices right now. App downloads are soaring—2018 was estimated to have over 200 billion downloads as per a Statista Report. Safeguarding and protecting data has become paramount as cybercriminals are constantly on the look-out for means and channels to exploit devices as well as digital and media assets. So how safe are the contents of your mobile phone? And can organisations know if hackers are following every keystroke of company-owned devices?
