Identify Security Vulnerabilities Across Your Portable Devices

Mobile Device Security Testing

Most businesses do not have a firm grasp of the security vulnerabilities associated with handheld devices used by their workforce. Mobile phones, iPads, iPhones, Android phones and tablets, Blackberries, and a myriad of other hybrid handheld devices are used to access business systems, but their inherent mobile security vulnerabilities are largely overlooked.

Given their size and portability, the primary security concern associated with these devices is their ability to store large amounts of information. Add to this the breadth of communication options available, and you have a device that introduces formidable risks to your systems and information.

Risk Crew’s Engineers identify, minimise and manage mobile risks by testing the security integrity of their configurations and connections to your systems.

Mobile device security is defined as the security measures deployed to protect the sensitive information processed, stored or transmitted by smartphones, tablets, laptops and any other portable device. Mobile devices are increasingly used by attackers to access business systems and sensitive data as they are largely omitted in a business’ security defences and can provide a backdoor for unauthorised access.

What are the most serious mobile device security threats?

From the myriad of threats to mobile devices the most significant are network spoofing, malware (such as spyware, tracking software or call-jacking), data interception, broken cryptography and unauthorised Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.

What are best practices for securing mobile devices?

Best practices for reducing the cyber risks to mobile devices range from the use of strong passwords or biometrics, using virtual private network connections (VPN) installing anti-malware ensuring the latest software is used and encrypting sensitive data stored locally on the device.
