Although mobile threats represent a currently small and insignificant percentage of total malware, their evolution is all too similar to internet-based threats. The astonishing growth of mobile malware in the past 2 years will only continue in the coming years, as evermore people adopt smart devices. This increasing adoption and the roll-out of 4G networks in many regions will amplify the availability of mobile broadband and parallel services such as mobile commerce, mobile payments, mobile banking, access to cloud services, video streaming and content download. Such services will only serve to further add value to mobile devices. This will be compounded by future convergence, as services, applications and networks migrate to an internet protocol platform.
