Description
Businesses are increasingly confronted with the dangers posed by harmful Wi-Fi hotspots and the myriad of applications found on employee-owned devices. Among these applications are not only malware but also what is termed "riskware" – software that, while not directly harmful, can engage in activities that jeopardize the security of company data. These various threats collectively put enterprise users at risk of data leaks, identity theft, and the unauthorized transfer of sensitive information, which can be exploited to conduct sophisticated attacks targeting specific individuals. Employees often connect to public Wi-Fi networks and unwittingly grant extensive permissions to these riskware applications, failing to recognize that their personal and organizational information could be transmitted to distant servers and advertising platforms worldwide, creating opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit this data. As such, organizations must prioritize educating their employees about these risks to safeguard their sensitive information more effectively.
Description
Threat defense solutions that integrate a combination of vulnerability management, anomaly detection, behavioral profiling, code emulation, intrusion prevention, host firewalling, and transport security technologies are essential for safeguarding mobile devices and applications against sophisticated threats. Mobile devices extend beyond mere small computers; they are constantly active and perpetually connected to the Internet, necessitating innovative strategies to ensure data integrity while promoting user productivity. To address these unique challenges, Symantec developed a risk-based mobile security framework within its Mobile Threat Defense, designed explicitly to confront a wide array of threats that jeopardize business data through exposure, theft, and manipulation—all while prioritizing user privacy and an optimal mobile experience. By harnessing both on-device and cloud-based machine learning capabilities, the system is equipped to detect a multitude of threats efficiently. This approach allows for real-time analysis, detection, and protection at a scale that meets the demands of modern mobile environments, ensuring users can work confidently without compromising security.
