Zimperium Predicts Mobile Security Trends for 2025

/ 1 min read

Zimperium forecasts key mobile security trends for 2025. The company predicts that mobile security platforms will increasingly focus on data privacy, driven by regulatory compliance needs, as 82% of organizations permit BYOD policies. Additionally, social engineering attacks, particularly mobile phishing or “mishing,” are expected to become more sophisticated, with AI-driven malware complicating detection efforts. Non-traditional entry points, such as sideloaded applications, will escalate enterprise mobile risks, with financial services seeing a significant portion of threats from these sources. Lastly, the rise of mobile-specific ransomware is anticipated, as attackers shift from data theft to extortion tactics tailored for mobile platforms, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures in mobile environments.
