Corporate data loss from mobile devices has significant financial penalties, leading to operational downtime, expensive recovery, and lost revenue. It causes severe reputational damage and erosion of customer trust, and can result in costly legal and regulatory trouble due to failed data protection requirements. Additionally, mobile breaches can provide entry points for hackers to compromise larger corporate networks, enabling further cascading security impacts.
