What is Proofpoint Mobile Defense?

Companies are increasingly facing threats from dangerous public Wi-Fi hotspots and the various applications present on personal devices owned by employees. These applications include not only harmful malware but also "riskware," which refers to software that may not be overtly dangerous yet can engage in behaviors that compromise the security of corporate data. Together, these threats expose enterprise users to potential data breaches, identity theft, and the unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, all of which can be leveraged for complex attacks against specific targets. Many employees connect to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks and unknowingly grant extensive permissions to these riskware applications, often without realizing that their personal and corporate data could be sent to remote servers and advertising networks globally, thus creating new avenues for cybercriminals to exploit this information. To effectively protect their sensitive data, organizations must place a strong emphasis on educating their workforce about these emerging threats and the importance of cautious online behavior. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the likelihood of a security incident stemming from employee negligence.
