2. Watch The External And Internal Threats

Ginevan said risks are both internal and external—and channel partners need to make sure that mobile device management and enterprise mobility management strategies incorporate both ends of the risk spectrum.

“Attacks can be user initiated through mobile devices, so either devices don’t have up-to-date patches or the device was jailbroken,” he said. “[Meanwhile] external threats are introduced through apps installed on the device, which can lead to mobile malware.”

Channel partners need to educate customers on both these internal and external attacks, and present strategies so enterprises can avoid them.
