About The Juniper Networks 2011 Mobile Threats Report

Dan Hoffman, Chief Mobile Security Evangelist at Juniper's Mobile Threat Center, discusses the 2011 Mobile Threat Report and highlights the key takeaways:
1. There is more malware than ever before. 2011 saw a record number of mobile malware attacks -- particularly to the Google Android platform.
2. Mobile malware has gotten smarter. Cybercriminals continue to hone their craft by finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and human behavior for profit across all mobile platforms and devices.
3. The barrier to entry is low. Data shows an evolution from sophisticated, complex and deep technical attacks to schemes that are lightweight, social and able to deliver fast profits. As mobile users download more applications than ever before, applications themselves are becoming the "killer app" for hackers and the most popular way to compromise devices.
