What is mobile security in cyber security?
Mobile security is the strategy, infrastructure, and software used to protect any device that travels with users, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Cybersecurity for mobile devices includes protecting data on the local device and the device-connected endpoints and networking equipment.
Components of Mobile Security
Organizations that use mobile devices have several options to protect them from attackers. Components in mobile security can be used to define cybersecurity strategies surrounding mobile devices. In addition to the infrastructure added to corporate strategy, it’s also important to create BYOD and mobile device policies that instruct users what can and cannot be installed on the device.
The following components will help any organization protect from attacks directed towards mobile devices:
Penetration scanners

Auditing and device control
- While administrators can’t remote control a smartphone or tablet, they can require users to install remote wiping capabilities and tracking services. GPS can be used to locate a stolen device, and remote wiping software will remove all critical data should it be stolen.
VPN
- Users connecting to the network from a remote location should always use VPN. VPN services and always on VPN alternatives installed on a mobile device will encrypt data from the device to the endpoint or from the device to the internal network. Plenty of third-party services are set up specifically for protecting corporate traffic from a mobile device to the internal network.
