Mobile devices are becoming a method to provide an efficient and convenient way to access, find and share information; however, the availability of this information has caused an increase in cyber attacks. Currently, cyber threats range from Trojans and viruses to botnets and toolkits. Presently, 96% of mobile devices do not have preinstalled security software while approximately 65% of the vulnerabilities are found within the application layer. This lack in security and policy driven systems is an opportunityfor malicious cyber attackers to hack into the various popular devices. Traditional security software found in desktop computing platforms, such as firewalls, antivirus, and encryption, is widely used by the general public in mobile devices. Moreover, mobile devices are even more vulnerable than personal desktop computers because more people are using mobile devices to do personal tasks. This review attempts to display the importance of developing a national security policy created for mobile devices in order to protect sensitive and confidential data. Results of this review provide methods to address security related issues in mobile devices.

The recent advances in communication and mobile technologies made it easier to access and share information for most people worldwide. Among the most powerful information spreading platforms are the Online Social Networks (OSN)s that allow Internet-connected users to share different information such as instant messages, tweets, photos, and videos. Adding to that many governmental and private institutions use the OSNs such as Twitter for official announcements. Consequently, there is a tremendous need to provide the required level of security for OSN users. However, there are many challenges due to the different protocols and variety of mobile apps used to access OSNs. Therefore, traditional security techniques fail to provide the needed security and privacy, and more intelligence is required. Computational intelligence adds high-speed computation, fault tolerance, adaptability, and error resilience when used to ensure security in OSN apps. This research provides a comprehensive related work survey and investigates the application of artificial neural networks for intrusion detection systems and spam filtering for OSNs. In addition, we use the concept of social graphs and weighted cliques in the detection of suspicious behavior of certain online groups and to prevent further planned actions such as cyber/terrorist attacks before they happen.

Trusting Smart Speakers: Understanding the Different Levels of Trust between ...
The growing usage of smart speakers raises many privacy and trust concerns compared to other technologies such as smart phones and computers. In this study, a proxy measure of trust is used to gauge users’ opinions on three different technologies based on an empirical study, and to understand which technology most people are most likely to trust. The collected data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test to determine the statistical differences between the users’ trust level of the three technologies: smart speaker, computer and smart phone. The findings of the study revealed that despite the wide acceptance, ease of use and reputation of smart speakers, people find it difficult to trust smart speakers with their sensitive information via the Direct Voice Input (DVI) and would prefer to use a keyboard or touchscreen offered by computers and smart phones. Findings from this study can inform future work on users’ trust in technology based on perceived ease of use, reputation, perceived credibility and risk of using technologies via DVI.

cyber-criminals. In this research work, we have done a systematic review of the terms related to malware
detection algorithms and have also summarized behavioral description of some known mobile malwares
in tabular form. After careful solicitation of all the possible methods and algorithms for detection of
mobile-based malwares, we give some recommendations for designing future malware detection algorithm
by considering computational complexity and detection ration of mobile malwares.
Cyber Threat to Public Safety Communications
This document discusses cyber threats to public safety communications systems. It begins by describing how communications broke down for first responders during the 9/11 attacks due to overloaded cell networks and damaged radio systems. Since then, improvements have focused on redundancy and interoperability through increased connectivity, but this also introduces more vulnerabilities. The document outlines several cyberattacks against 911 call centers and public safety networks in recent years. It identifies the most attractive targets as the public's access to 911 and single points of failure in interconnected systems. The main security challenges are complacency about risks and limited budgets to address vulnerabilities.

Wearing safe: Physical and informational security in the age of the wearable ...Simon Fraser University
Wearable computing devices promise to deliver countless benefits to users. Moreover, they are among the most personal and unique computing devices of all, more so than laptops and tablets and even more so than smartphones. However, this uniqueness also brings with it a risk of security issues not encountered previously in information systems: the potential to not only compromise data, but also to physically harm the wearer. This article considers wearable device security from three perspectives: whether the threat is to the device and/or the individual, the role that the wearable device plays, and how holistic wearable device security strategies can be developed and monitored.CNIT 128 Ch 1: The mobile risk ecosystem

Over the last years, technological advancement has continued to rise to create a significant change in the communication landscape. In the contemporary world, many people are linking up through the use of mobile devices by making calls, video calls and sending short messages. The estimate of mobile users in the world is about 5 billion people. Technological advancement has made the use of mobile phones to be smarter by incorporating both video and graphical materials. Improvement in technology is a result of continual research in the field.
Unlike the 1970s devices, the current mobile devices have a wide variety of features that have enabled various functions. The past was characterized by limited and costly mobile phones but the current users have increased greatly. For instance, an individual can have as many phones as he or she desires depending on the phone features and specifications. The landscape is moving all the time with new smartphones hitting the market and new features being rolled out almost weekly,” (Curran, Maynes, & Harkin, 2015). Apart from voice communication, one can use a mobile phone to send and receive emails. Due to the change in technology that has led to an increase in mobile users, security threats have been on the rise. This situation calls for security actions from information technology departments. In 2004, the first computer virus that destroyed mobile devices emerged. Since then, many security vulnerabilities followed as more smartphones emerged.
Mobile security is paramount not only to organizations but also the mobile phone users. It refers to taking initiative strategies to safeguard sensitive data that are kept in mobile devices or any other portal devices. It also involves the capability to protect the enterprise network from being manipulated by unauthorized users. Devices that are prone to mobile security threats are not only smartphones but also portal devices such as wearables, tablets and laptops. Hackers and cyber-criminals are now focusing much of their efforts on mobile platforms, often as a first step to breaking into corporate networks,” (Shaulov, 2016). Potential threats on mobile devices include unsecured WIFI networks, leakage of data, malicious apps and spyware. There are also physical threats such as losing a mobile device or ge.

Current Challenges Facing Cyber Security
Abstract
Modern technology has been used today in various fields and it has proved to be of importance. Technology as a whole makes the world appear small in terms of distance due to fast transport and communication and a huge task to be less. Many people have been so dependent on technology, which is advancing fast. The technology faces quite several challenges with the main one being cyber-crimes in different organizations and that where cybersecurity plays its part in the protection of vital information from being accessed or destroyed by unauthorized individuals. Cybersecurity plays a significant role in ensuring that any computer-related information is secure, no harm can come to it or threat is detected early before it thrives (Raman, 2019, p.3). Despite that still, the cybersecurity faces a lot of challenges; the main objective of this paper is to focus on those challenges faced by cybersecurity, making it less effective in playing its role. Also on some of the measures that have been taken in preventing the crimes associated with computer systems (Sutherland, 2018, p. 27).
Introduction
The world today starting from an individual moving to the largest organizations, all at least have a computer system for either storing information or used in day to day activities. Human beings can communicate with their loved ones from the far distance, they can travel long distance within the shortest time possible, and also they make what is deemed to be less effective, to be efficient. This is how good the technology is and why people are obsessed with it day in day out. Before all this, there is still the fact that they are unable to safeguard their information mostly the private one (Sadeghi et al., 2015, p. 4). This is why this paper is of importance as it makes one realize that within a fraction of a second or a mini second one can lose over a million in his bank account, millions of passwords could be hacked, the funny part is that someone can give out your money for donation without your knowledge, a virus can be sent into your computer to disrupt it or malware this is mostly associated with computers. That is how cyber-crime is and you can imagine how the victims cope with such surprise events when they do occur, in some cases, others take their lives in such a situation. These may occur due to the lack of cybersecurity that allows computer and other machines to be exploited (Sutherland, 2018, p. 27).
Objectives
To come up with a strategy that can respond quickly from cyber incidents and also prevent them when they occur.
To ensure that there is integrity maintained and availability of linked systems.
Encourage the creation of cyber secured machines to fight cyber threats.

Adaptive Mobile Malware Detection Model Based on CBR
Today, the mobile phones can maintain lots of sensitive information. With the increasing capabilities of such phones, more and more malicious software malware targeting these devices have emerged. However there are many mobile malware detection techniques, they used specified classifiers on selected features to get their best accuracy. Thus, an adaptive malware detection approach is required to effectively detect the concept drift of mobile malware and maintain the accuracy. An adaptive malware detection approach is proposed based on case based reasoning technique in this paper to handle the concept drift issue in mobile malware detection. To demonstrate the design decision of our approach, several experiments are conducted. Large features set with 1,065 features from 10 different categories are used in evaluation. The evaluation includes both accuracy and efficiency of the model. The experimental results prove that our approach achieves acceptable performance and accuracy for the malware detection.

1. Introduction
Our society, economy, and critical infrastructures have become largely dependent on computer networks and information
technology solutions. Cyber attacks become more attractive and potentially more disastrous as our dependence on informa-
tion technology increases. According to the Symantec cybercrime report published in April 2012 [17], cyber attacks cost
US$114 billion each year. If the time lost by companies trying to recover from cyber attacks is counted, the total cost of
cyber attacks would reach staggering US$385 billion [17]. Victims of cyber attacks are also significantly growing. Based on
the survey conducted by Symantec which involved interviewing 20,000 people across 24 countries, 69% reported being the
victim of a cyber attack in their lifetime. Symantec calculated that 14 adults become the victim of a cyber attack every
second, or more than one million attacks every day [105].
Why cyber attacks flourish? It is because cyber attacks are cheaper, convenient and less risky than physical attacks [1].

Whitepaper: BATTLING IT OUT: APPLICATION AND MOBILE SECURITY - Happiest MindsHappiest Minds Technologies
This document discusses key threats and attacks on application and mobile security, including advanced persistent threats (APTs), web application threats, and mobile threats. APTs are sophisticated, targeted attacks that establish ongoing access to target systems. Web applications are vulnerable to attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Mobile threats include malware, privacy threats from data-gathering apps, and network exploits that target mobile operating systems and wireless protocols. The document proposes a threat intelligence and monitoring framework to detect and mitigate these evolving cybersecurity risks across networks, applications, and devices.MOBILE DEVICE USERS’ SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PHISHING ATTACKS
The mobile device is one of the fasted growing technologies that is widely used in a diversifying sector. Mobile devices are used for everyday life, such as personal information exchange – chatting, email, shopping, and mobile banking, contributing to information security threats. Users' behavior can influence information security threats. More research is needed to understand users' threat avoidance behavior and motivation. Using Technology threat avoidance theory (TTAT), this study assessed factors that influenced mobile device users' threat avoidance motivations and behaviors as it relates to phishing attacks. From the data collected from 137 mobile device users using a questionnaire, the findings indicate that (1) mobile device users' perceived susceptibility and severity of phishing attacks have a significant correlation with a users' perception of the threat; (2) mobile device users' motivation to avoid a threat is correlated to a users' behavior in avoiding threat; and (3) a mobile device user's susceptibility to phishing attacks can be reduced by their perception of the threat. These findings reveal that a user's perception of threat increases if they perceive that the consequence of such threat to their mobile devices will be severe, thereby increasing a user's motivation and behavior to avoid phishing attack threats. This study is beneficial to mobile device users in personal and organizational settings.

Abstract
This paper aims at discovering the methods of securing native mobile applications and the probable threats they can experience in the advancing world of technology. Any kind of software, ranging from desktop to mobile applications, is believed to have defects that can lead to susceptibilities. These weaknesses, when subjugated, may bring in threat to the integrity, privacy, and accessibility of the software. However, various security auditing strategies might aid to minimize at a specific degree the level of confidence these risks have. With the outburst of mobile applications for day to day activities such as checking email, social networks, news, managing bank accounts, ensuring a satisfactory level of application security becomes essential for the usage and reliance of mobile services. This research identifies the effective analysis factors that can help the daily mobile application users to identify mobile risks as well as a probable methodology to security audit mobile software applications. The advancement in information technology and applications has increased the access of sensitive information such as International Mobile Equipment Identity Number (IMEI) of device, credit and debit card information, location information and login credentials thus the need to secure vulnerable applications from authorized access.
Introduction
Mobile application expansion in various platforms is based on functional and non-functional rations. Different types of platforms exist to organize mobile applications with distinctive private policies (Jing, Ahn, Zhao & Hu, 2014). This paper aims at highlighting mobile application security for native apps such as navigation programs and social media, for instance, Waze and Twitter respectively, and the methodologies that help reduce these security threats.
Analysis Blocks to Identify Mobile Risks
There are several risks identified by where frequent faults are found and how they can be surfaced during an application security auditing. These risks are associated with different factors such as attack vectors, aggressive agents, weaknesses, technical impact, and business impact. To demonstrate, weak server-side controls regards the threats from a third-party mechanism like extremity servers necessary for most mobile applications (Jing, Ahn, Zhao & Hu, 2014). This threat includes defenseless server arrangement, authentication errors, session supervision flaw, and access control weaknesses. Further, insecure data storage regards the possible risks created by weaknesses on the data storage in the mobile device which can lead to information leakage. Inadequate transport layer protection recognizes assailability such as non-encrypted transport layer communications, the application of susceptible cryptographic algorithms and recognition of illegal ...

Every year mobile technology is getting more advanced as everyon.docx
Every year mobile technology is getting more advanced as everyone needs mobile in their daily life in almost every bit of life. Advances in technology thus allow users to collect, modify, or access the data or any useful information over a network. Therefore, this essay discusses the pros and cons of mobile cloud computing and mobile technologies.
Mobile technologies refer to technologies or any device utilized for cellular communication and are accessible anywhere by a user (Sheng 2010). They help to connect individuals or businesses from one person to another across the world. Cellular technology refers to exactly what cell phone systems dependent on the innovation which give phones the name ‘cell phone.’ Cloud computing refers to the basic terms, which means accessing and storing data or programs that are useful to the user or business enterprise over the internet instead of storing them in the computer hard drives (Popović & Hocenski 2010). Developing cloud technologies is a major step in the field of information systems and data sharing. Application security refers to the general practice of manufacturers, adding some functionalities or features to the mobile software to prevent several various threats. These features include denial of some service attacks and other cybercrimes, data theft situations, or data breaches. It thus includes various procedures, software, and hardware that identify or minimize security vulnerabilities.

The document discusses a study on cybersecurity among FSU college students. It examines how students manage their cybersecurity on mobile apps, websites, and devices. The study found that most students do not fully trust these platforms to protect their information, so they limit what they share or use other resources to combat threats. Hackers are seen as more dangerous now, so students are looking for ways to reduce their risks online. The document outlines some common cybersecurity threats like phishing and discusses countermeasures taken by individuals and companies.
CASE STUDY There is a new phenomenon in the cybersecurity domain ca.pdf
CASE STUDY: There is a new phenomenon in the cybersecurity domain called: “Bring Your
Own Device (BYOD)” where employees can bring their personal devices at work and connect
using the Wi-Fi to the organization’s network. Many employers are allowing their employees to
use their personal mobile device for enterprise functions such as corporate email, work
applications, etc. While this may save the company costs, the organization’s network remains
vulnerable. A company can only monitor so much that’s on an employee personal device;
Assess the threats, the vulnerabilities, and the impacts on an organization’s information systems
posed by the use of mobile devices at work. What can be done to fix it at the policy level,
technology level, and infrastructure level?
Solution
Employees aren\'t just bringing their mobile devices to the workplace — they\'re living on them.
A 2015 study by Bank of America found that 55 percent of respondents sleep with their
smartphones on their nightstands to avoid missing a call, text message or other update during the
night. The devices are also the first thing on their minds in the morning: while 10 percent
reported thinking of their significant other, 35 percent reserved their first thought of the day for
their smartphone.
As smartphones and tablets become constant companions, cyber attackers are using every avenue
available to break into them. Many people expect that iPhone or Android devices are secure by
default, when in reality it is up to the user to make security configuration changes. With the right
(inexpensive) equipment, hackers can gain access to a nearby mobile device in less than 30
seconds and either mirror the device and see everything on it, or install malware that will enable
them to siphon data from it at their leisure.
The nature and types of cyber attacks are evolving rapidly, and mobile devices have become a
critical part of enterprise cyber-security efforts with good reason. Analysts predict that by 2018,
25 percent of corporate data will completely bypass perimeter security and flow directly from
mobile devices to the cloud.
Chief information security officers (CISOs) and other security executives are finding that the
proliferation of mobile devices and cloud services present a significant barrier to effective breach
response. In order to secure the corporate data passing through or residing on mobile devices, it
is imperative to fully understand the issues they present.
5 Security Risks and a Surprising Challenge
The threat and attack vectors for mobile devices are largely composed of retargeted versions of
attacks aimed at other endpoint devices. These risks can be categorized into five areas.
1. Physical access
Mobile devices are small, easily portable and extremely lightweight. While their diminutive size
makes them ideal travel companions, it also makes them easy to steal or leave behind in airports,
airplanes or taxicabs. As with more traditional devices, physical access to a mobile devi.

Understanding the Challenge of Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructure Sectors
The cybersecurity of critical infrastructures is an essential topic within national and international security as 16 critical infrastructure sectors touch various aspects of American society. Because the failure to provide adequate cybersecurity controls within the critical infrastructure sectors renders the country open to an attack that could have a debilitating effect on security, national public health, safety, and economic security, this matter is so vital that there is the Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21 Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience advances a national policy to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning and resilient critical infrastructure. An organization identified as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the mission to be the risk advisor for the United States (US). Other organizations, such as the National Security Agency (NSA), have approved a specific Knowledge Unit (KU) to address cybersecurity for critical infrastructures associated with doctoral-level granting programs. To address this challenge, it is necessary to identify threats better and defend against them while mitigating risks to an acceptable level. Only then can a nation build a more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future while defending against present-day bad actors as cyberwarfare, cyber espionage, and cybersecurity attacks are the modern-day threats that need to be addressed in planning, designing, implementation, and maintenance. Therefore, the researchers developed a case study reviewing threats against different sectors defined in the PPD.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 3. Abstract Mobile devices are becoming a method to provide an efficient and convenient way to access, find and share information; however, the availability of this information has caused an increase in cyber attacks. Currently, cyber threats range from Trojans and viruses to botnets and toolkits. Presently, 96% of mobile devices do not have preinstalled security software while approximately 65% of the vulnerabilities are found within the application layer. This lack in security and policy driven systems is an opportunityfor malicious cyber attackers to hack into the various popular devices. Traditional security software found in desktop computing platforms, such as firewalls, antivirus, and encryption, is widely used by the general public in mobile devices. Moreover, mobile devices are even more vulnerable than personal desktop computers because more people are using mobile devices to do personal tasks. This review attempts to display the importance of developing a national security policy created for mobile devices in order to protect sensitive and confidential data. Results of this review provide methods to address security related issues in mobile devices.
- 4. Introduction Currently, mobile devices are the preferred device for web browsing, emailing, using social media and making purchases. Due to their size, mobile devices are easily carried in people’s pockets, purses or briefcases. Unfortunately, the popularity of mobile devices is a breeding ground for cyber attackers. Operating systems on mobile devices do not contain security software to protect data. For example, traditional security software found in personal computers (PCs), such as firewalls, antivirus, and encryption, is not currently available in mobile devices (Ruggiero, 2011). In addition to this, mobile phone operating systems are not frequently updated like their PC counterparts. Cyber attackers can use this gap in security to their advantage. An example of this gap in security is seen in the 2011 Valentine’s Day attack. Cyber- attackers dispersed a mobile picture-sharing application that covertly sent premium- rate text messages from a user’s mobile phone (Ruggiero, 2011). Thus, this example illustrates the importance of having a security policy for mobile phones.
- 5. Social Networking and Electronic Commerce (E- Commerce) Applications Many people rely on their mobile devices to do numerous activities, like sending emails, storing contact information, passwords and other sensitive data. In addition to this, mobile devices are the device of choice when it comes to social networking; thus, mobile applications for social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) are another loophole for cyber attackers to gain personal data from unsuspecting users (Ruggiero, 2011). Social networking sites are host to a surplus of personal data. That is why malicious applications that use social networking sites to steal data yield severe consequences. Recently, M-Commerce or “mobile e- commerce” has gained popularity in our society. Many smartphone users can now conduct monetary transactions, such as buying goods and applications (apps), redeeming coupons and tickets, banking and processing point-of-sale payments (Ruggiero, 2011). Again, all of these smartphone functions are convenient for the user but advantageous for malicious cyber attackers. Ultimately, there is a niche in technology for cyber security software that is specifically designed for the mobile operating system.
- 6. Hypothetical Consequences of Cyber Attacks on Smartphones The consequences of a cyber attack on a smartphone can be just as detrimental, or even more detrimental than an attack on a PC. According to Patrick Traynor, a researcher and assistant professor at the Georgia Tech School of Computer Science, mobile apps rely on the browser to operate (Traynor, Ahamad, Alperovitch, Conti, & Davis, 2012). As a result of this, more Web-based attacks on mobile devices will increase throughout the year. Traynor also states that IT professionals, computer scientists and engineers still need to explore the variations between mobile and traditional desktop browsers to fully understand how to prevent cyber attacks (Traynor, Ahamad, Alperovitch, Conti, & Davis, 2012).
- 7. Challenges with a Mobile Browser One cyber security challenge for mobile devices is the screen size. For example, web address bars (which appear once the user clicks on the browser app) disappear after a few seconds on a smartphone because of the small screen size (Traynor, Ahamad, Alperovitch, Conti, & Davis, 2012). This is usually the first-line of defense for cyber security. Checking the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a website is the first way users can insure that they are at a legitimate website. Moreover, SSL certificates for a website are usually more difficult to find on a mobile phone browser (Traynor, Ahamad, Alperovitch, Conti, & Davis, 2012). This adds another gap in security for mobile devices. Furthermore, the touch-screen attribute of mobile phones can be cause for concern when dealing with cyber attackers. Traynor states that the way elements are placed on a page and users’ actions are all opportunities to implant an attack. An illustration of this is seen when an attacker creates an attractive display content (i.e. an advertisement for an app or a link to a social media app) in which the malicious link is carefully hidden underneath a legitimate image. Unfortunately, once the user clicks the image they can be redirected to the malicious content via the link (Traynor, Ahamad, Alperovitch, Conti, & Davis, 2012).

- 11. Legitimate Applications that Can Be Used to Retrieve Information Presently, there is valid spy software available for various mobile devices. An example of this is FlexiSpy, a legitimate commercial spyware program that cost over $300 (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, 2010). FlexiSpy can: • Listen to actual phone calls as they happen; • Secretly read Short Message Service (SMS) texts, call logs, and emails; • Listen to the phone surroundings (use as remote bugging device); • View phone GPS location; • Forward all email events to another inbox; • Remotely control all phone functions via SMS; • Accept or reject communication based on predetermined lists; and • Evade detection during operation (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, 2010).
