According to a recent AT&T Small Business Technology Poll, 85 percent of small businesses use smartphones, while 66 percent use tablets, demonstrating the importance that mobile devices carry among small business owners.
The study found 63 percent of small business owners believe they would have trouble succeeding without using mobile technology, which is why AT&T created its Mobile Protection Pack, which includes enhanced support and mobile locate, to help businesses recover lost devices.
“We understand that for small business owners, mobile devices have become a lifeline for their livelihoods,” said Cathy Martine of AT&T. “With Mobile Protection Pack, we’re making it easier than ever for small business owners to quickly replace or locate their devices and get the support they need so they can spend their time doing what they do best – running their business.”
Recent data from technology protection leader Asurion shows one in four devices used by small businesses experience an incident each year. These incidents can include anything from a lost phone to a data breach. With small businesses relying more on mobile devices, it is important for them to also protect themselves with cyber liability insurance.
