Mobile phone security has been a hot topic for debate in recent times. The top mobile manufacturers seem to claim that their mobiles and applications are secure, but recent news on mobile hacking and malware suggest otherwise.
One of the key challenges in mobile security is the diverse platforms and multitude of operating systems (both open and proprietary) in the market. This makes it almost impossible to devise a generic catch-all strategy for mobile application security. Every platform whether it is iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Symbian etc. is unique and requires a specialized treatment.
In this talk, we will demystify mobile and related application security. We will understand the architectures of various mobile operating systems and the native security support provided by the manufacturers and operating system vendors. Then we will look at how hackers have come up with different techniques and tools to break mobile security, and what mobile companies are doing to mitigate these attacks.
Finally, we will look at secure practices for mobile deployment in the Enterprise using policy files and other technology solutions, We will also outline best practices for business users and road warriors, on how to ensure your company data is protected while still continuing to enjoy the flexibility provided by mobile phones.
Here are some Guidelines for CxO's relating to BYOD / Mobile-Device Security at work. Includes some recent Statistics and other Research on the Market.

CASE STUDY There is a new phenomenon in the cybersecurity domain ca.pdfkostikjaylonshaewe47
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.

Mobile Security
Security for IT and IT for security are commonly used terms in the IT industry.While IT provides diverse techno-
logical solutions to ensure the security of day to day life, IT solutions become vulnerable to threats, so security
for IT came to the subject. Since early 19s people were interested about this subject and came up with different
solutions to protect data and systems. In fact the cryptographic algorithms were initially used as an encryption
technique during civil wars. Earlier, IT security was refered only to the protection of desktops, laptops and serv-
ers. Now it has been quiet for a long time, and today’s trending topic is mobile security. With the emergence
of the mobile industry, individuals and businesses find themselves enjoying the divergence of mobile solutions,
but at the same time the number of threats targeting mobile solutions increases.
Mobile security has become more of a concern, since data exchange through mobile applications can directly
affect businesses, as today people use their personal smart phones for business purposes as well as for
personal use, known as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). In addressing this issue, what is suggested is having
knowledge transfer sessions to educate the employees or people about possible threats, while implementing
a proper mobile security system. The challenging part is to keep updating the security systems to the speed of
the arrival of new mobile products or applications, with the cost of transformation.
Vulnerability Analysis
Here I will be discussing the current security issues relating to mobiles, based on some recent research papers
and threat reports of anti-virus companies on mobile security. Some of the identified mobile insecurities based
on the white paper by Acronis International are un-secure file transferring, stolen or lost mobile devices, open
Wi-Fi networks and public hotspots, malware and viruses and unclear corporate policies. Among the possible
mobile security vulnerabilities, malware has taken special attention and researches are finding new approaches
to mitigate them spreading, specifically Android malware.
The worldwide smartphone market is invaded by Android and iOS over the other mobile OSs like Windows and
Blackberry. Figure 7 shows the worldwide smartphone market share growth over the past few years based on
different OSs, analyzed by International Data Corporation (IDC), USA. Since Android owns the largest market
share, malware authors are more interested about Android.
According to the recent analysis, it is identified that the Android malware mostly exist and grows faster, yet
the iOS has more vulnerabilities. The reason is due to the number of Malware families being higher in Android
than iOS. The F-Secure Labs 2014 Threat Report says that their analysis found 275 new malware families on
Android while only one new family identified on iPhone and Symbian.Their analysis had been carried on appli-
cation samples from the Google Play Store, third-party app stores, developer forums and other sources. The
Symantec 2014 Security Threat Report says that the average number of Android malware families discovered
per month in 2013 is five.

Why Malware Attacks? Why on Android?
The advantages gained by malware authors from infected devices are that they are able to monetize the
devices, collecting personal information by spying on users and stealing the ad-revenue of application devel-
opers through embedded advertising libraries. Some facts which make the malware authors motivated on
attacking mobile devices are the availability of cameras, near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, wireless
and GPS and other location services in most smartphones plus usage of mobiles for payments.
In addition to having a large market share,Android’s open design which lets the users install apps from various
sources is a fact for the malware authors to attack on Android. Even Android Google Play Store is vulnerable
to malware attacks.
In fact some researches who had done a study on Android malware detection techniques, in their paper
“Android Sandbox Comparison” at Mobile Security Technologies (MOST) 2014, states that Bouncer, introduced
in Feb 2012 to analyze Play Store apps has a low rate in detecting malware and can be easily bypassed
“The risk of losing a device is still higher than the risk of malware infection.”

How to Protect Your Device
1. When the device is lost or stolen
The basic approach is to have user authentication through a strong password, passcode or by locking the
device. From business perspective a more strategic approach is required, such as the ability to remotely lock the
device, wipe data remotely from the device or encrypt the data and having more control over data on the device.
2. From Malware and Viruses
Downloading applications from untrusted sources can make your device prone to be infected with malware.
Android Google Play Store is considered a trusted source, yet the Play Store is also vulnerable to malware
attacks.
“A good rule of thumb: if an app is asking for more information than what it needs to do its job, you shouldn’t
install it”
Sophos Mobile Security Threat Report, 2014
However, Android users can prevent installing non-Market apps by changing the settings, “Application >
Unknown Sources”, to unchecked. If you want to download an app from a third party or other source, using a
reputable security software to scan can lessen the risk of been infected.When choosing a security software you

may consider the following features. Application scanner to verify downloaded apps are not malware infected,
backup utility supporting remote storage to store your personal information, remote lock and remote wiping,
parental control, etc.
Be aware when you give certain permissions to the application while installing it, since letting it dig into your
personal information or giving more access is more or less similar to helping them achieve their target easily.
If you have “rooted” your device or “jailbroke” your iPhone, that means you have given full access to your
device’s OS and features. So a rooted device can be a great resource to malware authors. Since they can
access data of other applications, devices used for business purposes should avoid being rooted or jail-broken
and keep updating the OS to protect it from potential exploits.
In addition to the above, following are some best practices extracted from “Mobile Security Labware” which a
smartphone user can adopt to prevent malware.
• Monitor Battery and Network usage, SMS or Call charges: infected device may have unusual usage of
resources or charges.
• Check for suspicious behavior of device Settings: malicious apps can automatically turn on your GPS,
Bluetooth, WI-FI or 3G.
• If your device overall performance is reduced or reboots frequently then most probably the device is infected
with a virus unless it is a hardware problem.
• Make sure to turn off Bluetooth, WI-FI or Infrared when they are not been used.
• Do not install APK files directly from SD cards or any USB device unless you are an application developer.
APK files should be digitally signed by developers that they are safe.
• Comprehensively read the reviews of the application before installing it.
Importance of Mobile Data Security
Personal User’s Data Privacy
Recent studies have shown that personal smartphone users are more concerned about the privacy of their
personal information while sharing them with applications and services. According to the findings by GSM
Association based on the global research they carried out on more than 11,500 mobile users (including Brazil,
Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain and the UK), in their report “MOBILE PRIVACY: Consumer
research insights and considerations for policymakers” February, 2014 state that;
• 83% users concern about sharing their personal information when accessing the internet or apps from a
mobile

Further they describe how a MDM (Mobile Device Management) platform can address the issue, since MDM
supports managing the mobile devices use for business purpose, whether it belongs to the company or the
employee. MDM can restrict the access-to-connect to the corporate data, monitor their usage, configure set-
tings, deploy approved applications, wipe data remotely and even app store, can be used to store applications
that use corporate data, free from malware.
Author of the survey report Nick Geddes recommend to combine the MDM platform with an ECM access and
content management application to provide true mobile content management, since MDM has limited content
capabilities.
