Hypori announced the release of its inaugural VMI Report: Trends in Secure Mobile Access & BYOD, a first-of-its-kind survey of 1,000 global security, risk, mobility, and BYOD decision-makers. The findings paint a stark picture: Organizations face massive mobile security vulnerabilities as they increasingly embrace BYOD strategies. Traditional mobile security tools are failing to mitigate these risks while also compromising employee privacy is at risk, and organizations are rapidly shifting toward VMI to deliver secure mobility.
Some key findings from the VMI Report include:
- 92% of security and risk leaders face challenges in zero trust implementation.
- 69% of organizations report that their invasive mobile security controls negatively impact user satisfaction or productivity.
- 77% of organizations with mobile device management (MDM) admit to major limitations in their current solution.
- 47% identify employee privacy violations as one of the biggest risks in mobile security.
- Shockingly, only 29% of organizations say employee privacy is a top priority in mobile security.
- Only 39% of organizations consider their mobile security posture to be “very mature.”
“Mobile security as we know it is broken,” said Wayne Lewandowski, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of Hypori. “The old playbook of locking down devices through MDM and MAM is creating friction, violating user privacy, and still leaving enterprises exposed. The data makes it clear that leaders are ready for change. As we’ve seen in recent incidents like the Signal breach, secure messaging and access can’t rely on the endpoint anymore. VMI eliminates that attack surface entirely, giving organizations a way to protect data without sacrificing user trust.”
The report highlights how VMI is rapidly gaining momentum as the secure, user-friendly alternative for government agencies, highly regulated industries, and enterprises balancing zero trust requirements with budget constraints. By removing data from devices altogether, VMI not only simplifies compliance with regulations such as Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), but also delivers measurable cost savings and productivity gains.
The VMI Report shows that secure mobility requires a data-centric, privacy-driven approach, not device control. Virtual Mobile Infrastructure provides an easier way to eliminate endpoint risk, strengthen compliance, and safeguard enterprise workforces with seamless zero trust principles.
