Do you work from home? If you do, you\u2019re part of the increasing numbers of employees worldwide that work remotely or in a hybrid environment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the hybrid workplace is more common than not,\u00a0over half of employees<\/a>\u00a0stating they prefer remote or hybrid work environments, and\u00a052% of security decision makers<\/a>\u00a0believing that in the future, most of the workforce will be permanently remote or hybrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the promise of a better work\/life balance, reduced operational overhead, higher productivity and many other benefits, security procedures<\/a>, systems and controls in hybrid work environments are more complex, due to the sheer volume of devices connecting to corporate networks. These devices \u2013 smartphones, personal computers, tablets and more \u2013 exist outside the protected perimeter of the enterprise, which has led to a sharp increase in the number of data breaches and other security events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s examine some of the reasons why increased worker mobility is putting today\u2019s enterprise at higher risk of cybercrime \u2013 and what can be\u00a0done to improve mobile security.<\/p>\n

With Mobility Comes Risk\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As workers access corporate networks using privately-owned laptops and mobile devices instead of company-issued laptops \u2013 often using cloud-based apps and solutions<\/a> apps and solutions downloaded from app stores to connect these devices from their home networks \u2014 the attack surface expands. Cybercriminals are having a field day, phishing for credentials and hacking into accounts, or launching botnet attacks. Mobile apps, in particular, are easy targets for bad actors \u2014 Verizon\u2019s Mobile Security Index (MSI) reported a\u00a022% increase<\/a>\u00a0in major cyberattacks involving IoT and mobile\u00a0devices this year, and Proofpoint found a\u00a0500% increase<\/a>\u00a0in malware\u00a0attacks on smartphones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Microsoft products are likely targets, too, given that\u00a0the vast majority<\/a>\u00a0of global workers use them. For example, in July this year, Microsoft\u00a0issued a warning<\/a>\u00a0to users about a massive phishing campaign targeting over 10,000 companies since September 2021. Using stolen credentials and session cookies, criminals hacked into the authentication process of Office 365, bypassing multi-factor authentication. Stolen Microsoft Office 365 credentials can lead to a great deal of sensitive data being used to launch future attacks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phishing campaigns of this magnitude are increasingly common \u2013 since the onset of the pandemic, they\u2019ve\u00a0increased 55%<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and since most people use their phones to check email, that\u2019s where the \u201cphishermen\u201d are successful. Additionally, \u201crisk ware\u201d \u2013 free mobile apps downloaded from official app stores that collect and send user data to remote servers \u2013 can result in leaked data, either personal or corporate, giving cybercriminals more ways to infiltrate a network. Mobile malware programs may use distribution code that\u2019s native to popular mobile OSes and move data across the network without looking suspicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are other ways mobile devices pose security risks. Many people leverage wireless hotspots, which are typically unsecured, to sign on to corporate networks, from coffee shops or outdoor locations. Hackers may set up fake access points that look like Wi-Fi networks in public locations to trick users into connecting. As a result of these tactics,\u00a045% of companies<\/a>\u00a0surveyed by Verizon said they\u2019d suffered an attack involving a mobile device in the past 12 months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

3 Strategies For\u00a0Mobile Cybersecurity\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

According to the Harvard Business Review, mobile security is often\u00a0not a top priority<\/a>\u00a0for corporate IT teams, despite mobile devices being a preferred target for hackers.\u00a0To reduce risk and help protect an organization as it becomes more remote, distributed and mobile, BDO recommends that companies consider the key strategies below in their risk mitigation efforts.<\/p>\n

1. Implement Defense-in-Depth<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Microsoft provides a number of built-in security features, a defense-in-depth approach that layers on additional security measures to mitigate threats that circumvent them is essential. If one line of defense is compromised, additional layers act as backup defenses. The three key layers of a defense-in-depth strategy include:\u00a0<\/p>\n
