Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index Report

The Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index (MSI) report provides a comprehensive analysis of mobile security risks influenced by artificial intelligence (AI) and human error. It is designed for leaders in information security, IT, and compliance, offering data and guidance relevant to their roles. The report discusses the increasing prevalence of AI-driven threats and the persistent issue of human error, which together create significant vulnerabilities for organizations. Findings indicate that 85% of organizations have experienced mobile device attacks, prompting three-quarters to increase security spending. Despite this, only 17% have implemented specific controls against AI-assisted attacks, highlighting a gap in defenses. The report also emphasizes the importance of training and policies regarding the use of generative AI tools, as 93% of organizations report their employees using such tools, often without adequate safeguards. Overall, the MSI serves as a critical resource for understanding current mobile security trends and practices, helping organizations benchmark their defenses and identify effective measures.
