\nits maturity, but there is yet another movement that is growing rapidly and
\nwill soon catch up to those who arent paying attention. More and more
\nbusinesses are moving into the palms of their consumers and entering the mobile
\nspace. And as more people move to mobile as their main channel of usage, their
\nmobile devices have turned in to portable hub for storing personal information.
\nThe more information consumers store on their phone, the more it makes theses
\nmobile devices a target for fraud. According to an article in Mashable<\/a>,
\nsomeone in the US loses their phone every 3.5 second! These theft add up to
\nmore that $30 billion of losses each year. The FFC has developed a tool, the Smartphone
\nSecurity Checker<\/a>, to help secure the 120 million American smart phone
\nusers. Of these 120 million smartphone users, more than half of them do not use
\npassword protection and less than 5% of smart phones use third-party security
\nsoftware. The lack of security has lead to mobile
\nsecurity<\/a> of all types to increase 350% in the past two years.<\/p>\n
Its hard to believe that these statistics are floating
\naround the industry and no one cares. The biggest issue with mobile security
\nis that businesses are still trying to figure it out. Most companies are in the
\nstage of testing or entering the mobile space and probably have not even had
\nthe chance to assess the risks. One of the biggest hurdles of fixing and
\npreventing mobile fraud is understanding it. There are multiple types of mobile
\nfraud, and multiple ways of preventing it. Education is at the core of
\nprotecting your company and consumers – mobile security is more an issue of
\nknowing than caring. EVS is dedicated to educating and helping businesses understand and prevent mobile fraud. Preventing fraud comes at a much lower
\ncost that the damage of trying to fix it once something has happened. Whether
\nit be a breach, stolen device, or securing a mobile app, EVSs knowledge based
\nauthentication is designed to stop hackers and identity thieves in their tracks.
\nTake the first steps to protecting yourself against mobile fraud in 2013, and
\ncontact EVS to start the conversation about mobile fraud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
