Overview
Consumers rely on their mobile devices on an ever‐growing basis to keep them connected through email, messaging, and social media while also putting financial services and shopping in the palm of their hands.

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.
