Protecting Android, iOS, and Windows mobile device users from fraud will require a concerted effort by all stakeholders to eliminate vulnerabilities, encourage security‐minded.
This whitepaper examines strategies to examine mobile threats and strategies for improving security for mobile consumers. Smartphones, Tablets and Fraud: When Apathy Meets Security was sponsored by Nok Nok Labs and conducted independently by Javelin Strategy & Research.
