And those are just the vulnerabilities we know about – what about the ones we don’t? Even when all devices are up to date, mobile OSs, like any other operating system, are still at risk of zero-day attacks that exploit unknown vulnerabilities. At any given time, an organization has mobile devices whose OSs are not up to date and contain known vulnerabilities that can be exploited, leading to device compromise. Ultimately, no operating system is immune to security vulnerabilities, and just as admins use vulnerability management to reduce the risk of exploits on traditional endpoints, it only makes sense they use it for modern endpoints as well.Īnd yet, even when risks are mitigated, some inevitably remain.
Vulnerability management essentially helps enterprise security teams take the guesswork out of identifying, prioritizing and responding to mobile operating system (OS) vulnerabilities. In a recent blog post, I discussed the importance of vulnerability management for mitigating mobile security risks.
