According to an IDC study, the security situation with regard to mobile technologies has intensified further - the damage to the companies is considerable.
After their survey in 2015, the analysts at IDC in December 2016 once again interviewed companies on mobile security in their companies. The key finding of the study is that the security situation has intensified since 2015.
At least 65 percent of the respondents report that they have had experiences with attacks on mobile devices, which is 8 percent more than in the predecessor study. In practice, the number of attacks is likely to be significantly higher, since many cyber attacks are not noticed by the companies.
Overall, according to another study, 26 per cent of companies said they had suffered losses of more than 100,000 euros last year from security incidents with mobile technologies.
The damage sums could increase further in the coming year. By the end of May 2018, the new Basic Data Protection Act (DSGVO or English GDPR) came into force. This is relevant for every company that operates in the European market and thus data from persons Of the EU. Then the data protection authorities can collect fines of up to 20 million euros or four percent of sales. "By the DSGVO, violations of data protection are on a par with fines for money laundering or corruption," explains Mark Alexander Schulte, senior consultant and author of the IDC study.
However, it is a good thing that three quarters of all surveyed companies are already preparing for the new regulation, only five per cent of the decision-makers have not yet arrived. According to the interviewees, the most promising measures to comply with the DSGVO are the prohibition of access from unauthorized WLAN, the revision of the security guidelines and the definition of a data protection officer. Equally, Shadow IT is to be more strongly combated - and an EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) software is introduced or expanded.
