The pace of innovation is at no risk of slowing down, however the risk to the security posture of both organizations and individuals is also steadily increasing.

Mobile World Congress Americas (MWCA) 2017 just took place, with a plethora of current mobile products and solutions, and some tantalizing glimpses of future. The projections are for growth, growth, and more growth, either by equipping the mobile-less minority with mobile devices, or getting existing users to do even more with their mobiles, from controlling their toasters to managing networks of connected sensors.

The pace of innovation is at no risk of slowing down, however the risk to the security posture of both organizations and individuals is also steadily increasing. The question is: how safe will our mobile-powered future be? From the advent of 5G (the hottest topic of the conference), through wireless connectivity and the increase of IoT devices, to connected cars and smart cities, mobile and connected devices now drive our everyday activities in so many domains. But with more apps, more traffic, and more dependency, risks for security and privacy go up too.
