As the world goes mobile, so do the criminals. This month, Brainstorm asks how end-point protection can help enterprises protect mobile devices against attack.

✹ In an age where information is viewed as ‘the new corporate capital’, data-rich companies are becoming an attractive target for hackers, who benefit from the consistent use of insecure networks, unauthorised data transfers and poor passwords. End-point protection is a quick and cost-effective way for enterprises to deploy an additional layer of security to all devices, particularly mobile. Options such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA) and the use of one-time passwords provide an added shield of verification to the network and data access process, making it tougher for cyber criminals to penetrate the digital business walls.
