INSIDE Mobile Threat Defence

To Neutralize the Risk of Attacks on Mobile Devices.
Employees’ smartphones: A problem for corporate security.

Companies are increasingly aware of the risks posed by mobile devices and apps. However, most mobile users are unaware of the inherent risks to the security and privacy of their devices.

In particular, employee-owned devices (BYOD) are considered the greatest corporate security problem, followed by company-owned devices, and even before concerns related to cloud usage and IoT.

The combination of productivity apps and personal apps installed on each device means that corporate data is constantly exposed, increasing risk and vulnerabilities for any company.

The risks can be significant, as companies often have limited knowledge and control over the mobile apps employees download and use.

Many rely on antivirus solutions for security that are focused on the apps themselves. However, about two-thirds of mobile antivirus solutions available have proven ineffective.

Attackers are well aware of mobile as an attack vector.

Representing over 35% of the active zero-day vulnerability targets discovered in 2021, mobile endpoints are increasingly the easiest target for many attackers. 50% of IT and security professionals say it is “likely or certain” that their organization has already experienced a security incident due to inadequate mobile device security.

Why Do Mobile Devices Need Protection?

• 360% annual increase in phishing attempts on mobile devices
• 94% of malware is delivered via email: 60% of emails are read on mobile devices
• 60% of enterprise devices are mobile
• 44% of your customers have a compromised device connected to their network
• 39% of companies have experienced a security breach involving mobile or IoT devices

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense: Protection Against Mobile Threats.

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense is an advanced mobile threat defense solution for businesses, providing persistent on-device protection for BYOD and company-owned devices.

The software, leveraging advanced machine learning, detects threats along the “kill chain”: device, network, phishing, and app attacks.

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense continuously and in real-time assesses the risks posed by mobile apps that employees have downloaded on their devices, indicating safe and risky ones.

For all apps, it provides in-depth behavioral information with unprecedented precision, including content (the app code itself), intent (app behavior), and context (domains, certificates, shared code, network communications, and other data).

The software then provides essential privacy and security assessments, simplifying the setting of effective security policies to reduce the risk of an app.

Constant Detection of Security Risks in Installed Apps.

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense maintains constant control of apps on corporate mobile devices through a parallel processing engine that continuously collects and correlates data from multiple sources.

The INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense engine is constantly updated for new threats and the latest risky app behaviors. Automation and analysis allow for generating summary reports on app security and privacy risks.

The reports include a risk score for each app and detail the behaviors and context so the corporate security team can take action.

Additionally, the detailed technical reports, including forensic data from the device, help the security team understand the command and control communications of malicious and risky apps, encapsulating attack vectors.

Risk Mitigation Actions

Security administrators can set proactive app policies to mitigate risks and reduce the possibility of data exfiltration.

Risk mitigation policies are customizable so companies can tailor actions based on their risk tolerance level. INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense also allows risk mitigation through customizable automated actions, such as sending an SMS when a risky app is detected. Companies can also create distinct policies for different groups according to corporate Mobile Device Management criteria.

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense  provides continuous protection for mobile devices and their data, similar to next-generation antivirus on traditional endpoints. It can detect known and unknown threats by analyzing slight deviations from the operating system statistics, memory, CPU, and other system parameters of a mobile device. Once implemented on a mobile device, INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense begins protecting it from attacks even when the device is not connected to a network.

INSIDE Mobile Threat Defense protects mobile devices from all major attack vectors through an “Always On” protection system on the device that, providing threat-driven mobile information details, detects:

• The level of enabled security on the device (PIN code, device-level encryption);
• Any Jailbreaking;
• Whether the device is rooted;
• Network attacks (Man-in-the-Middle (MITM), unauthorized access points);
• Compromise and exploitation of the device’s operating system;
• The presence of malicious apps and provides detailed analyses on app risks and privacy;
• Reconnaissance scans by an attacker.
