Enterprise mobility and security: Striking the right balance

In an increasingly mobile and connected world, data security is critical for driving business resilience and agility. As organisations embrace hybrid work environments, the volume and complexity of cyber threats continue to multiply. The 2025 threat landscape reveals that 72% of organisations report an increase in cyber risks, with ransomware remaining the top concern at 45%, followed by AI-enhanced phishing and supply chain attacks. Consequently, if businesses are to respond effectively to the evolving digital environment and future-proof themselves against disruption, they must find the right balance between enabling enterprise mobility and security.

Why enterprise mobility and security matters

Flexibility and mobility are key pillars of the digital era, enabling organisations to maintain operations amid local and global disruption. What's more, employees increasingly expect flexibility and remote work benefits to help them better balance their careers with their individual needs and responsibilities.

Given the importance of these pillars to modern business, as well as the dynamic nature of modern technology, IT solutions must be both robust and adaptable, incorporating the best data protection across all devices, whilst also improving collaboration, efficiency and productivity.

Kyocera has taken a leading position on the global stage in the debate over how security and IT solutions intertwine to enable businesses to conduct daily operations in a mobile world. Our approach demonstrates our expertise in this area, recognising that convenience is a prerequisite in today's fast-paced business world, and that companies now demand comprehensive security solutions.

IT security in an increasingly complex digital world

In today's environment, the number of connection points to company databases has increased dramatically. With employees working from anywhere and at any time, IT solutions must provide maximum efficiency and productivity, as well as top document and data protection. If organisations do not incorporate security into their plans, then business growth is essentially built on sand foundations.

However, with more technological advances comes more complexity to the cybersecurity challenges and threats we face daily. The 2025 threat landscape is characterised by sophisticated AI-powered attacks, with cybercriminals launching an average of 36,000 malicious scans per second and leveraging generative AI to create highly personalised phishing campaigns. It is no longer enough to rely solely on the IT department to manage cyber threats. Businesses must create an environment in which high-level security is embedded in devices, without hindering the worker's ability to carry out tasks seamlessly and efficiently.

How organisations manage this challenge will decide their success in the years ahead. Those who fail to invest in innovation and continuous research and development will be left behind. Innovation leads to mobility, and mobility demands top security intelligence to guarantee safe operations, as well as integrated solutions that incorporate intuitive and automated workflows. When people, processes and technology are successfully aligned, the system will be productive, mobile and secure.

Kyocera's comprehensive cybersecurity services provide organisations with proactive defence against evolving threats, including a fully managed Security Operations Centre (SOC), Essential 8 assessments, penetration testing and security policy training. As a trusted security advisor for organisations across Australia and New Zealand, we help business leaders find the right balance between mobility and security, including developing new approaches to quickly respond to new and increasingly complex threats.
