Mobile threats are becoming increasingly prolific as the mobile platform continues to gain popularity through the adoption of smart devices. As end-users and businesses come to rely on smartphones and tablets in their personal and business activities, they store valuable information that is attracting the attention of cybercriminals. This has been brought to global attention with the discovery of a spate of mobile malware in the past year, many of which were surreptitiously copying stored mobile data.
The general lack of awareness of mobile vulnerabilities and this increase in mobile malware has driven a nascent yet dynamic market in mobile security products and services. This market is initially driven by business concerns on the protection of corporate assets and information, and has spurred the growth of niche companies offering services such as mobile device management, and cloud based security. Consequently, visiongain has determined that the value of the global mobile security market in 2012 will reach $1.6bn.
Mobile security products will become intrinsic to general cybersecurity in any organisation planning on allowing the use of mobile devices. The different solutions will address malware, spam, spyware applications, unauthorised access and modification at the same level as general cybersecurity measures. The industry is quickly grasping the notion that mobile malware will likely evolve similarly to PC-based threats, and that similar protection and detection measures will be necessary.
National mobile security markets in Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region will experience the strongest growth. BRIC nations will also show signs of a burgeoning mobile security market, as their populations increasingly adopt smart devices, albeit in the mid to long term. Spending in the rest of the world, such as smaller Latin American countries, the Middle East and Africa will not be quite as significant, with a much smaller market, despite a favourable growth rate. The adoption of broadband networks and the decreasing prices of smart devices will eventually change the situation in the long term.
