The challenge

Your organization faces a growing challenge in securing mobile devices, which have become primary targets for cyberattacks. Traditional security measures are often inadequate, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to breaches and compliance violations. The rise of remote work and BYOD policies further complicates the landscape, as personal and corporate data coexist on the same devices. Without robust mobile security, your organization risks financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.

How to evaluate mobile security

1

Multi-platform support

Evaluate the solution's ability to manage and secure devices running on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS from a single console.

2

Ecosystem integration

Ensure the mobile security solution integrates natively with Identity Providers and SIEM/XDR platforms for a unified view of threats.

3

On-device threat detection

Verify the solution can detect and block threats locally on the device, even when it is offline or in airplane mode.

4

Vendor stability

Assess the vendor's ability to provide same-day support for new OS releases and their investment in future-proof technologies like AI and post-quantum cryptography.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Mobile security RFP guide
  • How does your threat detection engine function when the device is completely offline?
  • What is the average time to value (TTV) for a fleet of our size?
  • Can you demonstrate how your solution separates personal and corporate data on a BYOD device?
  • What happens to the device's access permissions the moment a high-severity threat is detected?
