BANGALORE: Very small businesses (VSBs) with fewer than 25 employees have the same rate of mobile device adoption as large enterprises. However, most VSBs lack the security awareness, technical expertise, and budget needed to properly protect company-issued or employee-owned (BYOD) mobile devices.

Mobile Adoption Surge in Very Small Businesses

A Kaspersky Lab survey asked 3,900IT professionals worldwide about IT challenges they encountered over the previous 12 months, and 34 percent of VSBs said they had managed the integration of mobile devices into their business. What’s noteworthy is this rate is nearly identical to the rate of mobile integration reported by enterprises, which was 35 percent.

This means the smallest companies in the world are adopting mobile technology at essentially the same rate as huge companies with more than 5,000 employees. In fact, VSBs actually reported a higher rate of mobile adoption than small businesses with 26-99 employees, as well as large businesses with 1,500-5,000 employees.
