The Growing Risk of Mobile Attacks

While indispensable in today’s workplace, mobile devices are increasingly being targeted by threat actors. Recent studies indicate that 70% of employees use mobile devices for enterprise applications, creating prime targets for cybercriminals. Alarmingly, 82% of phishing attacks now specifically target mobile browsers, exploiting their weaker security defenses.

High-profile incidents highlight these vulnerabilities. A notable example occurred in 2022, when a smishing attack compromised a major American cloud communications company, exposing sensitive customer data. More recently, on March 12, 2025, the FBI issued a nationwide alert regarding a sharp increase in smishing attacks, emphasizing the evolution of phishing tactics across SMS, email, and malicious websites. Cybercriminals routinely exploit these methods to steal login credentials, multi-factor authentication (MFA) tokens, and critical business data.

Despite these threats, traditional mobile security measures—such as Mobile Device Management (MDM), VPNs, and security certificates—remain inadequate for browser-based activities, leaving organizations vulnerable to phishing, session hijacking, and data theft during SaaS access.

The Limitations of Traditional Mobile Security Solutions

Existing solutions like MDM, VPNs, and system-level certificates offer some protection but fail to secure web browsing effectively. As a result, IT and security teams have limited visibility and control over mobile internet activities.

This creates significant vulnerabilities. For instance, MDM systems cannot monitor or control browser activity, allowing phishing and smishing attacks to bypass enterprise defenses. Additionally, VPNs encrypt traffic but are unable to prevent users from inadvertently entering credentials into spoofed login pages. Finally, unmanaged mobile browsers expose SaaS applications to malware, keylogging, and unauthorized access.

Attackers continuously exploit these gaps. For instance, in January 2025, cybercriminals used malicious Google Ads to redirect mobile users to fake login portals, successfully capturing enterprise credentials. Incidents like these underscore the urgent need for robust, browser-level security.

Mammoth Enterprise Browser: Comprehensive Mobile Security at the Browser Level

The Mammoth Enterprise Browser secures mobile access without the complexities associated with VPNs or extensive MDM configurations. Mammoth protects users at the browser level, safeguarding both internal and SaaS applications from mobile-based threats.

Key Advantages of the Enterprise Browser Approach

• Comprehensive Phishing and Credential Theft Protection:
  • Blocks malicious websites proactively.
  • Detects and neutralizes fraudulent login pages in real-time.
  • Protects against MFA session hijacking and adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks.
• Secure Access Without VPN or MDM Dependencies:
  • Provides secure, policy-based access without VPN setup or mandatory MDM enrollment.
  • Ensures seamless access on both corporate-issued and personal devices.

Mammoth also enhances user privacy and productivity. It separates personal browsing from enterprise activities, maintaining user privacy while enforcing security policies. Employees enjoy frictionless, secure access without VPN latency or multiple login hurdles, boosting productivity. For IT teams, Mammoth provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection, enabling effective enforcement of Zero Trust security principles.

The Future of Mobile Security Starts with the Browser

Given recent FBI warnings and high-profile breaches, mobile security is undeniably critical. Existing tools like MDM and VPNs fail to address modern browser threats, exposing enterprises to preventable risks.

The Mammoth Enterprise Browser bridges this critical gap by delivering secure, hassle-free access to internal and SaaS applications and advanced protection against phishing, smishing, and credential theft. Additionally, it ensures privacy-friendly security enforcement that boosts employee trust and productivity.

By securing browser-level access, Mammoth enables organizations to confidently protect sensitive data and support a secure, productive workforce anywhere.
