CryptoForensics’ Mobile and Wireless Security Testing offerings are designed to help organizations safely embrace the full reach and opportunity of mobile devices and applications. Employing a holistic approach, our assessment looks at the security and compliance risks of your entire mobile application, its associated back-end systems, and the interactions and data flows between them.
The proliferation of mobile devices and mobile applications—combined with the demands from executives and employees for support of their personal devices to access business applications and data—force IT organizations to take a hard look at their current mobile infrastructure.
Unfortunately, much of this infrastructure is inadequate to deal with today’s challenges, including:
Our Mobile Security offerings include:
I. Solutions to address Bring Your Own Devices Challenges (BYOD).
BYOD is a multidimensional challenge with varying device types, OS platforms, differing network and mobile data security features, and a corresponding loss of organizational control over devices and what can or cannot be stored in them. IT organizations feel the pressure to support personal mobile devices across their businesses. However, supporting employees’ personal devices adds layers of complexity to any mobile support and security strategy. Though arguments for supporting BYOD include increased productivity and higher morale, the strategy may not yield a discernible ROI for IT and businesses to capture.
The CryptoForensics’ Mobile Security Strategy Roadmap Service is designed to help IT organizations determine the most efficient and cost-effective path to support BYOD while concurrently protecting your networks and data from unauthorized access. Our mobile security experts are highly versed in all aspects of mobile support technologies and strategies, including user authentication, mobile device management, mobile device security, secure communications, and data encryption. They can conduct specialized workshops and extensive interviews with major stakeholders across an organization to assess our clients’ mobile support and security requirements, help them evaluate current capabilities, and design mobile support and device management solutions that protect their networks, valuable data, and comply with myriads of regulatory requirements.
II. Mobile Applications/Device Penetration Testing/Use Risk Assessment.
From rogue access points to weak encryption algorithms, threats to wireless networks are unique and the risk the technology poses can be significant. A wireless penetration test identifies organizational weaknesses the same way an attacker would: by hacking it. CryptoForensics Technologies offers a wide range of Wireless Penetration Testing services, from security tests of standard corporate Wi-Fi networks to assessments of specialized wireless solutions. For corporate Wi-Fi deployments, we identify wireless exposures using a number of techniques, including information gathering, traffic sniffing, and authentication bypassing. We also offer custom research services and security evaluations for various technologies, including wireless IPS, wireless payment devices, and other solutions.
Our wireless security testing focuses on enumerating and verifying potential attack vectors and threats to your organization’s wireless infrastructure. The wireless security test is comprised of the following major phases:
Upon completion of the wireless penetration test exercise, CryptoForensics will provide a comprehensive report, including a clear and concise analysis of the current state of the security controls. The analysis will identify areas that need to be resolved in order to achieve an adequate level of security.
Typical contents of the deliverable are:
III. Mobile Applications/Device Use Risk Assessment.
The CryptoForensics’ Mobile Device Use Risk Assessment is designed to assess risk and security controls for a specific mobile device use case. The Mobile Device Use Risk Assessment is uniquely different from a Mobile Application Security Assessment in that the target is not a specific mobile application. At the same time, the Mobile Device Use Risk Assessment is not intended as a strategic evaluation of an entire mobile strategy or support model, but rather, it is an in-depth evaluation of a specific usage model and associated system or process. As such, Mobile Application Security Assessment is a holistic security and risk assessment of your mobile device-based application. CryptoForensics can help your organization to:
Our Comprehensive Suite of Solutions and Services . ..
Today, most enterprises try to deal with cybersecurity threats by focusing inwardly through conducting vulnerability assessments, making detailed network maps, and in some cases, deploying robust patch management processes to continuously monitor their networks and systems. While this approach provides some benefits, against many cyber threats it's ineffective. Most corporate networks are so large and complex that it's simply too difficult to identify all of their assets, or all of their vulnerabilities, and patch them fast enough. Today's cyber wrongdoers are sophisticated, well-funded, and patient—they use a wide range of techniques to penetrate even well-protected enterprises...
