FAQs

The Verizon Mobile Security Index (MSI) is an annual publication that provides an in-depth analysis of the mobile and IoT threat landscape. The report is based on a survey of hundreds of security professionals and includes contributions from other leading cybersecurity firms. Its purpose is to help organizations understand the current state of mobile security, the risks they face, and the best practices for protecting their mobile devices and data.

The MSI is primarily for anyone involved in an organization's security strategy, policy, and management. This includes Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), security professionals, IT managers, and business leaders. The insights are relevant to organizations of all sizes and across all industries, as it helps them assess their own mobile security posture and make informed decisions to strengthen their defenses.

The Verizon Mobile Security Index is  free to download. You do not need to be a Verizon customer to access and read the report. It's offered as a valuable resource for any organization looking to improve their mobile device security.

The MSI can help your organization by providing a clear picture of the evolving cyber threat landscape. It allows you to:
  • Benchmark your security: See how your organization's security posture compares to others in your industry.
  • Identify vulnerabilities: Understand the most common and emerging threats, such as phishing, unmanaged mobile devices, and new data security risks associated with unauthorized use of generative AI (genAI) tools.
  • Create a proactive strategy: The report offers actionable recommendations and expert guidance to help you develop a comprehensive mobile security plan and make smart investments in technology and employee education.
  • A perfect storm is brewing as AI-powered attacks grow and human mistakes persist magnifying risks and opening new attack surfaces.
  • Organizations see genAI tools as their top risk challenge as employees enter sensitive or proprietary information into these tools, which can lead to significant consequences such as operational disruption, data and financial loss, and reputational damage.

  • Organizations that use MDM report clearer security policies and stronger enforcement, especially for AI-related risks.

  • Most organizations are ramping up spending on mobile security with tangible investments in employee training programs and smarter tools that focus on risk reduction and efficiency.
