Confusion & hype abound

Common attack methods

Common methods of defense / counter / investigation

Data > Insight chain

Prosecution – burden of evidence

Learning & sharing possible, but patchy

The Millennial Generation

EXPECT . . .

to embrace technology for improved productivity and simplicity in their personal lives

tools that seem made for and by them

freedom of choice, embracing change and innovation

INNOVATE . . .

•Actively involve a large user population

•Work at Internet Scale and Speed

•Discover the points of value via iteration

•Engage the Millennial generation

Smart Phones (& Tablets) . . .

21

Used in the same way as a personal computer

Ever increasing functionality (app store culture) . . .

. . . and often more accessible architectures

Offer “anywhere” banking, social media, e-mail . . .

Include non-PC (!) features Context, MMS, TXT

Emergence of authentication devices

. . . are harder to defend ? . . .

22

Anti-virus software missing, or inadequate

Encryption / decryption drains the battery

Battery life is always a challenge

Stolen or “found” devices– easy to loose

Malware, mobile spyware, impersonation

Extends set of attack vectors

Much R&D into securing platform

Securing a Mobile Device

DEVICE

•Enrolment & access control

•Security Policy enforcement

•Secure data container

•Remote wipe

TRANSACTION

•Allow transactions on individual basis

•Device monitoring & event detection

•Sever risk engine – allow, restrict, flag for

review

APPLICATION

•Endpoint management – software

•Application: secure by design

•Application scanning for vulnerabilities

ACCESS

•Enforce access policies

•Approved devices and users

•Context aware authorisation29

1. Are you ready to respond to a cyber crime or security incident and quickly remediate?

2. Do you have the visibility and analytics needed to monitor threats?

3. Do you know where your corporate crown jewels are and are they adequately protected?

4. Can you manage your endpoints from servers to mobile devices and control network access?

5. Do you build security in and continuously test all critical web/mobile applications?

6. Can you automatically manage and limit the identities and access of your employees, partners and vendors to your enterprise?

7. Do you have a risk aware culture and management system that can ensure compliance?

Fitness for Purpose

1. Many Similarities – Cyber Crime vs Security – Threat Sophistication

2. Social Business & Mobile offer transformational value

3. New vulnerabilities need to be understood to be mitigated

4. Mitigation needs to be balanced, risk management based and “designed in”
