In this episode, we delve into the critical topic of mobile security and the rising threat of phishing attacks targeting enterprise users. Our guest, Wendy Leung, a product marketing manager on the VMware Workspace ONE employee experience team, shares valuable insights and expertise on the newly launched Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense Phishing and Content Protection (PCP) beta.

Wendy highlights the alarming statistics that show enterprise users are three times more likely to fall for phishing links on their mobile devices. With remote and hybrid work becoming the norm and the prevalence of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture, the line between personal and professional use is blurred, providing an avenue for threat actors to target corporate employees.

She explains that phishing attacks on mobile extend beyond email to SMS-based attacks (smishing), social media platforms, messaging apps, and even ad networks. Wendy emphasizes the challenges in detecting and defending against these mobile threats and how they differ from traditional email phishing attacks.

The discussion then shifts to the introduction of Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense Phishing and Content Protection (PCP) beta. Wendy highlights how this solution works in tandem with Workspace ONE Tunnel and Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub to provide comprehensive protection against web and content vulnerabilities stemming from phishing emails, SMSs, and messaging apps. This includes shielding against malicious URLs, web pages, videos, photos, and web and content behaviors and configurations.

She further explains the innovative approach taken by Lookout, a technology partner, to inspect millions of URLs and evaluate associated certificates, ensuring robust filtering of suspicious and inappropriate information. Wendy discusses the integration of content filtering into the secure connections of Workspace ONE Tunnel, enabling organizations to safeguard mobile endpoints while allowing secure access to corporate resources without VPN conflicts.

Join us in this episode as we uncover the growing threat landscape of mobile phishing and the powerful protection offered by Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense.
