In addition, Appthority announced the release of their first 2015 Enterprise Mobile Threat Report with mobile app risk research from the Appthority Enterprise Mobile Threat Team (EMTT), the industry's first enterprise focused, mobile-centric security and app risk research group. Enterprise and government workforces depend on mobile solutions for increased productivity, while adopting Bring Your Own Apps (BYOA) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies in an effort to protect against corporate security and privacy risks. Appthority's research shows that close to 80 percent of mobile apps exhibit hidden behaviors that put sensitive corporate data at risk. Only Appthority combines the largest global database of millions of analyzed public and enterprise mobile apps with a policy management engine to speed app review and approval and enforcement of custom use policies for thousands of employees within minutes.

"The enterprise is experiencing a massive influx of new end-user devices and apps that offer new ways to perform workday tasks. To help our customers protect themselves against mobile app threats, we've developed new on-device features that allow enterprises to tailor their mobile security policies and immediately detect and manage risky apps. Using the new Appthority mobile app, employees can be proactive and search for apps and learn about any possible risks before they install apps on their devices. Further, our new Mobile Threat Team enables companies to stay one step ahead of the latest mobile threats and will give them actionable insight to protect their organizations from malware and hidden risky mobile app behaviors."
