“The first computer viruses hit computers in the early 1980s, and essentially we’ve been in a cyber-arms race ever since. We design new defenses, and then hackers and criminals design new ways to penetrate them….We’ve got to be just as fast and flexible and nimble in constantly evolving our defenses.”
-President Barack Obam

Now, the rate of zero-day and unknown malware is massive. From 2013 to 2014, new malware jumped just over 71 percent from 83M to 142M, according to AV-Test, an independent service provider of anti-virus research. And, more malware was found in the past two years than in the previous 10 years combined.
During 2014, Check Point analyzed more than 3,000 gateways and found that 41 percent of Organizations downloaded at least one infected file with unknown malware—almost a 25 percent increase from the previous year.
Known Malware
In 2014 hosts downloaded malware every 6 minutes
In 2014 hosts accessed a malicious site every 24 seconds
Corporate Data at Risk
When mobile security is weak, it can provide attackers with personal information, passwords, business and personal email, corporate documents, and access to company networks and applications. In the business setting, that concern becomes magnified. In fact, 87 percent of IT professionals say careless employees are a greater threat to security than cybercriminals. And, 92 percent say employee behaviors could have made a difference in preventing high-profile security
