Smartphone security is one of the topics we recently explored in the 2018 User Risk Report. When we surveyed 6,000 working adults across six countries — the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia — more than 90% of respondents said they use a smartphone, and 39% of these use their devices for both personal and business activities. In the BYOD era, that means infosec teams should be keenly aware of how individuals’ poor cybersecurity behaviors can affect their organizations’ security posture.

Diametric method is a good way to secure their phones. That means users use fingerprint or facial scan to lock their phones. It is secure because they are the unique characters for each user.
