LONDON, UK: Visiongain's new report on the global mobile security market states that the marekt will reach a value of $1.6bn in 2012, as companies and organisations across a number of sectors seek to secure their smart devices against the growing dangers of mobile malware. 

The Visiongain author of The Mobile Security (mSecurity) Market 2012-2017 report commented that 'Mobile devices are becoming as important as the personal computer, as users store more and more information about their personal and business lives on their phones. This has started to attract the attention of criminal elements from cyberspace, and they are adapting existing malware to the new mobile platform.' The mobile security market is therefore forecast by visiongain to record strong and continuous growth over the next decade, as the mobile landscape comes under attack.

According to a press release, the report contains 111 tables, charts and figures that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the mobile security market.
