Juniper Networks has released findings from its 2011 Mobile Threats Report, showing that mobile malware has reached a new stage of maturation. The Juniper Networks Mobile Threat Center examined more than 790,000 applications and vulnerabilities across every major mobile device operating system to inform its 2011 Mobile Threats Report.
Dan Hoffman, Chief Mobile Security Evangelist, Juniper Networks said, "The rapid growth in mobile malware combined with ongoing concerns about lost and stolen devices illustrate just how important of an issue mobile security is and that it is an issue that affects everyone, not just corporations. At Juniper, we believe building trust in mobility is just as important as building great networks and powerful applications."
Sanjay Beri, VP & GM, Junos Pulse Business Unit, Juniper Networks said, "It is vital that consumers and businesses take the necessary security precautions when using mobile devices. Securing mobile devices requires a combination of safeguarding connections from interception, securing data in transit from prying eyes or theft, protecting against fast-propagating malware, possessing the tools to manage devices and apps, and securing the data, usernames and passwords on them in the event that they are lost or stolen."
