One thing I've noticed is that a lot of cybersecurity discussions focus on servers, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure, but mobile devices often get treated as an afterthought.
Meanwhile employees are accessing email, company files, internal apps, and customer data from Android devices every day.
From a security perspective, where do you draw the line between user convenience and device control?
For example, should organizations be enforcing app restrictions, security policies, and update compliance on all corporate Android devices, or is that becoming overly restrictive?
I've been reading more about Android MDM solutions lately and it made me curious how security teams actually approach mobile security in practice.
