Are most mobile apps putting your data at risk? Most likely so. According to the most recent report from Lookout, the number of Android devices affected by malware is more than 6 million.

Otherwise it will cost you. The Ponemon Institute’s Cost of Data Breach Study says average costs for a single breach increased by 15% last year, reaching $3.5 million.
