BYOD Policies Create Security Inconsistencies
Employees mix personal and work data on the same device. Mobile Device Management (MDM) coverage is partial or opt-in. Sensitive data is accessed outside corporate controls.
Mobile Apps Request Excessive Permissions by Default
Even legitimate apps collect contacts, location, and microphone access. Employees accept prompts without review. Shadow surveillance becomes a background feature.
SMS Phishing (Smishing) Is on the Rise
Attackers use fake delivery messages, MFA resets, or job alerts. Users tap without hesitation, leading to credential theft or malware. Mobile UIs obscure full URLs and certificate details.
74% of Companies Are Seeing ROI from AI.
Incomplete data wastes time and stalls ROI. Bright Data connects your AI to real-time public web data so you launch faster, make confident decisions, and achieve real business growth.
Jailbroken or Rooted Devices Bypass All Controls
Compromised phones can intercept traffic, disable sandboxing, and spoof apps. Organizations rarely detect these conditions. A compromised mobile becomes a gateway to internal systems.
VPNs Are Rarely Used on Phones
Most mobile traffic goes over unencrypted public Wi-Fi. Apps send corporate data in plaintext or weakly encrypted streams. Network visibility is near zero.
Lost Devices Are Not Always Reported Quickly
Employees lose phones at airports, in taxis, or at home. Without full disk encryption or remote wipe, data remains exposed. Breach reporting often lags behind the loss.
