Future Shock: How mobility is forcing enterprises to completely rethink security

No single change in enterprise computing will have a greater impact on end-user security than the rapid adoption of mobile devices. Users are increasingly working outside of the office, doing so on smartphones and tablets. Despite this fact, the majority of enterprises continue to employ traditional security solutions that rely on appliances or host based software – solutions that cannot consistently inspect mobile traffic and are often not permitted to run on mobile ecosystems. Enterprises need to completely rethink their approach to end user security in this new paradigm. Zscaler ThreatLabZ has spent considerable time researching security and privacy risks in mobile applications and the results are frightening. Popular apps that have been blessed by the app stores and downloaded millions of times are blatantly exposing users to security and privacy risks by insecurely collecting and transmitting data while freely sharing it with third parties. In this talk, discuss our findings and share our thoughts on how enterprises should rethink security in this new paradigm.
