Mobile Device Cyber Security for your Atlanta Company<\/span><\/h2>\n

Are you worried about mobile device cybersecurity? You may not know if, but your end-users mobile devices are a significant liability for your small business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phishing, Smishing, Spear-Phishing, Vishing\u2026where does it end? Attackers are constantly finding new ways to access your data, and your mobile devices are not immune to these threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Risks with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)<\/h2>\n

For years, companies have been encouraging end-users to bring their own device. Unfortunately, BYOD companies do not have conditional restrictions to avoid threats. As a result, the data contained within emails, SharePoint, calendaring, contacts, and other applications can become compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n

Significant vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Android and Apple iOS ecosystems in recent years. As a result, it has become apparent that any device accessing corporate data is a potential avenue for attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

INSI’s MobileAssess-IT Can Help Reduce Vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n

INSI\u2019s experienced assessment experts conduct the MobileAssess-IT to evaluate the corporate risks on mobile phones\/tablets, policies, and their impact on policies. Once we have gathered this information, we will recommend actions to secure employee-owned mobile devices for your business network. <\/span>The Mobile Risk Assessments reviews 5 vulnerabilities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pinpoint App Vulnerabilities<\/strong> \u2013 Your device must be updated regularly to protect against malware. Unknowingly, your end-users can permit potential hackers by agreeing to user terms. For example, some user agreements include permission to access contacts. A Mobile Risk Assessment will check against these vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Check User Grant Privileges<\/strong> \u2013 This follows the App Vulnerabilities because end-users do not typically read software EULA\u2019s that request greater privileges than necessary to ensure ease of deployment. These elevated User Granted Privileges are landmines waiting to be exploited on vulnerable phone OS and apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Review Sideloaded Applications<\/strong> \u2013 It is not unusual for end-user to install a \u201cfree\u201d version of a mobile app. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for \u201cfree\u201d software to have malicious code or device profiles\/SSL certificates. As a result, the software can harvest user data, banking credentials, personal pictures, and messages, or corporate data.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Associate Malicious Device Profiles\/SSL Certificates<\/strong> – Malicious Device Profiles and SSL Certificates are used to conduct Man in The Middle (MiTM) attacks on any cryptographically secured data leaving the mobile device. Unfortunately, this is a common way for an attacker to harvest usernames\/passwords and sensitive data.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Identify Rogue Networks<\/strong> – Attackers can set up wireless access points (WAP) and give them the same name as a legitimate network like a Starbucks Guest. Afterward, the end-user will try to access the WAP, and the attacker will install a device profile to access the corporate data. Unfortunately, executives with high-level access are especially vulnerable to these attacks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
