Symantec helps consumers and organizations secure and manage their information-driven world.

 

 

 

However, IT departments tasked with keeping company networks and sensitive data safe are still struggling to get a handle on mobility. According to the same survey, mobility ranks as the leading IT risk among organizations, that includes being perceived as more risky than virtualization and even public cloud computing.

 

===> Device loss, data breach and mobile malware are some of the chief concerns. And these concerns are not unfounded. For the 12 month period leading up to the survey, the average cost of enterprise losses associated with mobility was $429,000. <===

 

To help enterprises take full advantage of mobility while also mitigating the very real risks associated with it, Symantec has built the strongest mobile security and management product portfolio available. Today, we announced significant updates to this portfolio that enhance our already industry-leading capabilities in mobile device management, mobile application management and mobile threat protection.
