Modern society, including corporate environments, has the proliferation of mobile devices and has characterised modern society, including corporate environments. The increased use of these devices is attributed to the significant opportunities they bring and their contribution to enhanced communication. However, the increased use of mobile devices has raised serious concerns about the privacy of personal information and sensitive corporate data stored on them.

Effects of mobile devices on cyber security:

Because the type of data stored and accessed on mobile devices contributes to increased security risks, mobile devices have a significant impact on cyber-security. They create new cyber security issues, such as increased financial risks, data loss, and non-compliance issues. The widespread use of mobile devices tends to compromise the cybersecurity of corporate networks, which can result in data theft and massive financial losses.

The rapidly increasing use of mobile devices poses critical threats to cybersecurity, primarily because most users are unaware of how to use them safely.

In addition, massive numbers of malware and malicious links are created by hackers each day with the intent of crushing cybersecurity systems and gaining unauthorized access to user accounts.

Security Risk of Mobile Devices:

Aside from the risk of theft, mobile devices expose the organisation by reducing its ability to defend itself against cyber-attacks. To protect its IT infrastructure from these threats, an organisation must implement security solutions. When dealing with non-mobile desktop systems and servers, the organization can implement a perimeter defence, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.

Since the devices might be linked to the organisation's database, they might provide an intruder with access to the domain and server system of the organization. When using non-mobile desktop systems, the risk of theft is minimal, since most organizations implement good physical security in their offices. 

Mobile devices can be attacked at different levels. This includes the possibility of malicious apps, network-level attacks, and the exploitation of device vulnerabilities. As mobile devices have grown in importance, cybercriminals have increased their focus on them. As a result, cyber threats against these devices have broadened.

Conclusion:

It is impossible to deny the contribution of mobile devices to the rise of cyber security. There is only education and being careful and informed portable devices are used as a cure-all for cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks can be mitigated by keeping devices up to date, avoiding downloading solicitations from unknown sources, and reading material about personal electronics. 

It is critical to recognise advancements in cyber security. The widespread use of mobile devices weakens corporate network cyber security, potentially leading to data theft and significant financial losses.
