Mobile
Mobile devices enable millions of users to be more productive and interact with their world in more ways than ever before. Today’s mobile devices pack quite a punch – multi-core, multi-Ghz processors, coupled with WiFi, Bluetooth, and GSM or CDA radios – all packed into a form factor not much larger than a candy bar. Mobile devices are set to become the principle interface between people and business. Chief among the draw of mobile devices is the use of mobile applications that extend and enhance the capabilities of smart phones in thousands of ways.
Mobile devices unfortunately also present some of the most potentially hostile environments imaginable—data protection & inventory, compliance, and revocation are just a few of the dangers facing mobile application owners. Mobile applications expose users and their phones to a host of not-so traditional issues that simply didn’t exist a few years ago. Properly accounting for new threats and attacks requires the use of mobile-specific security assessment processes. Employing traditional penetration testing techniques and code review is sadly insufficient to address the risks the mobile environment presents.
