  10. Importance of Mobile Device Security Mobile Device Security ZACHCURRY

  11. Mobile Device Exploitation Mobile Device Security • Physical Theft • Loss of data • Loss of network credentials • Potential for erroneous emails, actions, etc • Kernel Modules • Hook low level functions under OS • Exfiltration of anything • Can completely hide itself • Potentially very difficult to remove ZACHCURRY

  12. Mobile Device Exploitation Mobile Device Security • Mobile App Exploitation • Malicious or accidental (ignorance) • Apps running with Root • Attacker can piggy back app • Femtocells • Mini-Cellular Tower • Sends cell traffic over TCP/IP • Can capture all data going over GSM/CDMA • Transparent to device user ZACHCURRY

  13. Securing Mobile Devices Mobile Device Security • What’s Being Done • Apple: App Verification Process6 • Android: ASLR7 • Address space layout randomization • What Can Be Done Moving Forward • More visibility of mobile device security • Approved devices • Mobile security policy • Required Android version • Random device review • Traffic analysis ZACHCURRY

  14. Conclusion Mobile Device Security • Mobile device use continues to grow • Mobile devices in use will exceed population this year8 • Mobile device use: Augmentation  Requirement • Mobile space becoming more advantageous to target • Mobile device security needs more visibility! • MOBILE DEVICES ARE HERE TO STAY ZACHCURRY
