2 Introduction Mobile devices cause ongoing concern for IT teams responsible for information security. Sensitive corporate information is easily transported outside of managed environments, while the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement has dramatically increased the number of expensive security incidents. In recent months, we have seen several highly visible, high-impact corporate hacks. These highly publicized breaches have significant financial impact as well as risk to the company s reputation. Mobile security is of utmost concern as the number of personal devices connecting to corporate networks continues to grow. The following report, sponsored by Check Point, is based on a global survey of 706 IT and security professionals conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The goal of the survey was to capture data on current attitudes and trends with mobile devices and IT security. This is the third survey on this topic sponsored by Check Point and this report evaluates differences in responses to similar questions asked over the past two years. Executive Summary 1. Number of personal mobile devices connecting to corporate networks continues to grow 2. The cost of remediating mobile security incidents continues to increase 3. Employee behavior is a significant factor in mobile security Key Findings Number of personal devices connecting to corporate networks continues to grow 75% allow personal devices to connect to corporate networks, an increase from 67% in 2013 and 65% in % say the number of personal devices connecting to corporate networks is growing 72% more than doubled the number of connected personal mobile devices in the past two years Mobile security incidents are on the rise, and so is the cost of fixing them 82% of security professionals expect mobile security incidents to increase this year 98% have concerns about the impact of a mobile security incident 95% face challenges with the security of BYOD 64% say cost of remediating mobile security incidents is increasing 42% of executives say a mobile security incident costs more than $250,000 64% cite Android as the mobile platform with the greatest risk, up from 49% in 2013 and 30% in 2012 Employee behavior is a significant factor in information security 87% say careless employees are a greater threat to security than cybercriminals, up from 72% in 2012 Employee actions have the highest impact on vulnerability of mobile data 63% say employees likely contributed to recent high-profile security breaches 92% say employee behaviors could have made a difference in preventing high-profile security breaches 56% are managing business data on employee-owned personal devices, up from 37% in 2013 Sponsored by
3 Detailed Findings Continued growth in the number of companies with mobile devices connecting to corporate networks IT professionals were asked if mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, were allowed to connect to their corporate networks. Most reported broad use of mobile devices within their organizations, with 95% saying that they had mobile devices connecting to corporate networks, including 74% who allowed both personal and company owned devices, 20% who allowed only company-owned mobile devices, and 1% that had only personal mobile devices. The 1% all worked at small companies. Mobile devices connect to corporate networks No 5% Yes 95% This is a slight increase in the number of companies that allow mobile devices on their corporate networks compared to 93% in More corporate networks include personal devices If we consider only personally-owned mobile devices connecting to corporate networks, has seen a more significant growth rate than in the past. In, 75% of IT professionals reported that devices owned personally by employees, contractors, or others connect to their corporate networks, up from 67% in 2013 and 65% in Companies allowing personal mobile devices to connect corporate networks 75% 25% % 33% Yes No % 35% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Page 3
4 Companies have an increasing number of personal mobile devices connecting to their networks IT professionals whose companies do allow personally-owned mobile devices were asked how much growth there has been in the number of personal devices on their corporate networks. The vast majority, 91%, have seen an increase in the number of mobile devices connecting to corporate networks over the past two years. For most participants, the increase was very dramatic with 72% saying they more than doubled the number of personal mobile devices in this timeframe. Increase in number of personal devices connec3ng to corporate networks More than 5 8mes 26% No increase 9% Less than twice as many 19% Between 2 and 5 8mes 46% Mobile security incidents expected to grow With the high rate of growth of mobile devices, particularly personal mobile devices connecting to corporate networks, it is unsurprising that the number of security incidents is also expected to grow. Among all IT professionals, about two-thirds (64%) expected to see an increase in the number of mobile security incidents. Interestingly, IT professionals in general were more optimistic than the IT professionals who focus exclusively on security as their entire job. Among the security professionals who spend all their time thinking about securing corporate data and systems, a shocking 82% expect the number of security incidents to increase. Not a single dedicated security professional (0%) indicated that they expected the number of mobile security incidents to decrease this year, although among all IT professionals, including those for whom security was only part of their job, 7% felt that the steps they were taking to ensure security would decrease the number of security incidents. Expected change in number of security incidents in coming year (All IT professionals) No change 29% Expected change in number of security incidents in coming year (Dedicated security professionals only) Decrease 0% No change 18% Decrease 7% Increase 64% Increase 82% Page 4
5 IT professionals are concerned about the business impact of mobile security incidents Nearly all IT professionals (98%) have concerns about the impact of a mobile security incident. When asked about their greatest concerns, lost or stolen information topped the list with 82% of IT professionals citing this as an issue, followed by 61% who worried about introducing security weaknesses for future attacks. Mobile security incident concerns Lost or stolen informaaon 82% IntroducAon of security weakness for future ahacks 61% Compliance violaaon and fines 43% Cost of replacing lost or stolen devices 31% Other No concerns 3% 2% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% Participants who took the time to write in Other answers specifically called out worries about reputation and bad press, loss of productivity while correcting problems, and costs to stay within security standards and compliance. Securing corporate information remains greatest challenge in adopting BYOD BYOD or Bring Your Own Device continues to cause challenges for corporate IT. The majority of participants, 95%, reported that when employees use their own smartphones, tablets, or other devices to work with business information, it creates security challenges. IT professionals report that the most common challenge faced by IT organizations in adopting a BYOD policy is securing corporate information (72%), followed by managing personal devices that contain corporate and personal data and applications (67%), and tracking and controlling access to corporate and private networks (59%). BYOD security challenges Securing corporate informabon 72% Managing personal devices that contain both corporate and personal data and applicabons Tracking and controlling access to corporate and private networks 59% 67% Keep device operabng system and applicabons updated Finding agnosbc security solubons (i.e. managing all OSes) 42% 46% Other We have no challenges with BYOD 2% 5% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Page 5
6 The specific challenges and importance of the challenges did not change significantly from year to year, but the overall number of IT professionals facing security concerns as well as the number concerned about particular items, has increased across the board. The overall number of IT professionals who face security challenges rose from 93% in 2013 to 95% in. Most challenges saw a slight in increase in number of IT professionals experiencing them, for example concerns about securing corporate information rose from 67% in 2013 to 72% in. BYOD security challenges (2013 vs. ) Securing corporate informaaon 72% 67% Managing personal devices that contain both corporate and personal data and applicaaons 67% 63% Tracking and controlling access to corporate and private networks Keep device operaang system and applicaaons updated 46% 38% 59% 59% 2013 Finding agnosac security soluaons (i.e. managing all OSes) 14% 42% We have no challenges with BYOD 5% 7% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Interestingly, there was a dramatic increase in the ability to finding agnostic security solutions that can manage all operating systems across the wide range of mobile devices used. In 2013 only 14% listed finding agnostic security solutions as a top concern, but in that number rose dramatically to 42%. Cost of remediating security incidents is increasing The costs of remediating a security incident can be wide-ranging once you include staff time, legal fees, fines, resolution processes, and other expenses for each incident where corporate information has been lost or stolen from a mobile device. Most IT professionals (64%) report that the costs of remediating mobile security incidents is increasing, with only a small number (6%) reporting these costs are decreasing. Changing costs of remedia1ng mobile security incidents No change 30% Decreasing 6% Increasing 64% Page 6
7 Because of this wide range of possible expenses, the actual cost of a mobile security incident can be challening to calculate. IT executives had the most visibility into these costs, which can be substantial. Three-quarters (75%) of IT executives reported that a mobile security incident costs their company more than $10,000, including 42% who said it cost more than $250,000. This is an increase from 2013 where only 37% reported a mobile security incident cost more than $250,000. Cost of mobile security incidents (Execu'ves) 25% 33% 42% Less than $10,000 $10,000 - $250, % 35% 37% More than $250,000 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Perception of Android security risks grew again in IT professionals were asked which of the most common mobile platforms they viewed as being the greatest risk to their corporate security. The number of IT professionals saying Android was the riskiest increased and was by far the most frequent platform indicated (64%), followed by Apple/iOS (16%) and Windows Mobile (16%) and Blackberry (4%). Perception of Android security problems continued to grow dramatically as the platform perceived to have the greatest security risk (up from 49% in 2013 and 30% in 2012). Mobile platform perceived as greatest security risk (2012 vs vs. ) 16% 64% 16% 4% Apple/iOS % 49% 17% 9% Android Windows Mobile % 30% 29% 16% Blackberry 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Apple/iOS decreased in perception as the riskiest mobile platform for the first time since this survey began, to 16% from 25% in both of the prior years. Windows Mobile saw about the same results after dropping considerably from 2012 to Blackberry dropped for the 2nd year in a row as the number of IT professionals who viewed this as the most risky platform decrease by more than a half. Page 7
8 Concern about careless employees is growing Employee behavior was found to have significant impacts on mobile security in this year s survey. IT professionals were asked which group of individuals was considered the greatest security risk careless employees or cybercriminals who intentionally try to steal corporate information. Careless employees continued to be reported as a greater security threat than cybercriminals with 87% of participants citing careless employees as the greatest security risk as opposed to only 13% citing cybercriminals. This is a notable increase from 2012 when the same question was asked and 72% cited careless employees. This reinforces the importance of implementing a strong combination of technology and security awareness throughout an organization. Greater security threat to mobile devices 87% 13% Careless employees % 28% Hackers 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Employee actions have highest impact on vulnerability of mobile data Mobile security incidents can have a wide range of impacts. IT professionals were presented with a list of possible impacts and asked to rank them from first to last with the first being the factor that was the most impactful and the last being the factor that was the least impactful. Last year, lost or stolen devices was ranked first among IT professionals as the factor that had the greatest impact on the vulnerability of mobile data, followed by malicious applications downloaded to the mobile device. In, the role of employees rose significantly and is now represented in all the biggest impacts on the vulnerability of mobile data. This includes employees accidentally accessing malicious sites or downloading malicious content, lack of employee awareness about security policies, and employees intentionally ignoring security policies all surpassing lost or stolen mobile devices with corporate data. Impact on the vulnerability of mobile data 1. Employees accidentally accessing malicious sites or downloading malicious content 2. Lack of employee awareness about security policies 3. Employees intenaonally ignoring security policies 4. Lost or stolen mobile devices with corporate data 5. Security updates not kept current 6. High rate of users changing or upgrading their mobile device Page 8
9 Employee behavior can make a difference in preventing security reputation events Employee adherence to corporate security policies whether it be lack of awareness of security policies or employees intentionally ignoring security policies were ranked among the highest impacts on the vulnerability of mobile data. Recent months have seen a large number of very high profile customer data breaches. IT professionals were also asked if they felt employee behavior could have made a difference in preventing these embarrassing and customerimpacting issues. Two-thirds of participants (63%) indicated that it is likely employee carelessness contributed to recent high-profile breaches of customer data. The vast majority (92%) said that in their opinion employee behaviors could have made a difference. Likelihood recent high- profile breaches could have been prevented if employees followed security policies It wouldn t have made a difference 8% It s possible it might have made a difference 30% It is likely employee carelessness contributed 58% Employee carelessness caused these problems 5% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% More companies are managing employee-owned devices Once corporate data is on personal devices, it becomes a security risk point if those are not managed properly. In there was a significant increase in the number of IT organizations managing business data on the personal devices that employees use for work. More than half of organizations (56%) are managing the business data that exists on personal devices, up significantly from just over one-third (37%) in. Manage business data on personal devices 44% 56% No % 37% Yes 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Page 9
10 Survey Methodology An independent database of IT and security professionals was invited to participate in a web survey on the topic of mobile devices and information security sponsored by Check Point.
