Recent Surveys of IT Executives Reveal Significant Gaps in Mobile Device Security

A global survey of healthcare IT leaders finds high adoption of mobile device initiatives—linked to increased patient satisfaction—but also significant security and privacy concerns: 78% report having an MDM program (with one-third not confident in it), and respondents cite data privacy, security/compliance, and patching as top challenges. The piece references Verizon’s Mobile Security Index noting 35% of healthcare firms experienced data loss or downtime from mobile security incidents and recommends enterprise mobile security solutions to meet compliance and BYOD needs.
