Hackers are also exploiting the security vulnerabilities that inevitably opened up during the COVID-19 pandemic, in recent times they are targeting mobile devices with increasingly sophisticated attacks. Mobile devices are attractive targets for them because the interface itself prompts users to take immediate action, while limiting the amount of information available. Additionally, users are often distracted when operating from their mobile devices, which makes them more likely to fall victim to attacks.

"At the same time, they must prioritize a seamless user experience. Unified endpoint management can provide the IT controls needed to secure, manage and monitor every device, user, app and network used to access corporate data, while maximizing productivity. They can also rely on UEM which defends against threats to devices which is very useful for quickly detecting and correcting them, including malicious QR codes, even when a device is offline ”.
