Mobile Threat Defense - The Missing Piece of Your Security Strategy

Corporate infrastructures have been venturing into the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) world for years often without knowing it.

Conditional restrictions are often not in place to prevent access to corporate data reposited in email, SharePoint, calendaring, corporate contacts, and other applications. And even in cases where conditional restrictions may exist, the usage of mobile threat defense software may not be present or utilized on the device.

Contrastingly, companies will often stringently secure their corporate laptops and desktops with MDR solutions, SIEM agents, and vulnerability management solutions.

The difference in approaches to BYOD devices versus corporate-managed devices is troubling because BYOD devices can often access the same confidential data but without similar safeguards. With the recent string of major vulnerabilities discovered in both the Android and Apple iOS ecosystems, it’s becoming more apparent that any device that can access corporate data is a potential avenue for attack.

App Vulnerabilities

Just like your laptop/desktop computer your mobile (phone or tablet) device runs software that must be updated regularly. This includes apps running on the phone which may have vulnerabilities exploited by potential attackers or phishers to install malware or gain control of the mobile device data. This problem is compounded when apps request and are granted elevated privileges on the mobile device. For example, “This app would like to have access to your contacts” could be a target for phishers.

User Granted Privileges

This follows App Vulnerabilities namely because most users do not read software EULAs or take time to comprehend the privileges requested by an app. Furthermore, most app developers will request greater privileges than necessary to ensure ease of deployment and to avoid needing to require the user to agree to privilege escalation in the future due to an app update. The elevated User Granted Privileges are a ticking timebomb for vulnerable phone operating systems and apps.

Sideloaded Applications

Any app that is installed on a mobile device in a manner other than via the official App/Play store for the device is considered to be a Sideloaded Application. Sideloaded applications are typically not vetted by the official Apple/Google antivirus measures in their stores. So, users will install the “free” version of an app to avoid paying a fee to Apple/Google. It is common for the “free” software to have malicious code or device profiles/SSL certificates coupled with the software to harvest user data, banking credentials, personal pictures and messages, or your corporate data. Sideloaded Applications will commonly take advantage of the User Granted Privileges and App Vulnerabilities to gain access to data that was considered to be “secured.”

Malicious Device Profiles/SSL Certificates

Malicious Devices Profiles and SSL Certificates are commonly utilized to conduct Man in The Middle (MiTM) attacks on any cryptographically secured data leaving the mobile device. This combined with the fact that it is common for mobile application developers to not implement mobile SSL correctly in their applications is a common way for an attacker to harvest usernames/passwords as well as sensitive data.

Rogue Networks

Attackers can set up wireless access points and give them the same name as a legitimate network. For example, an executive of your organization likes to drink coffee and read the news on his phone at Starbucks. An attacker could set up a wireless access point with the same wireless name SSID as Starbucks. To make matters worse, they could require the executive (without their understanding) to install a “Starbuck” device profile “to ensure the security and privacy of Starbucks customers.” At that point, all data could be routed and decrypted via the MiTM attack that occurred on the executive’s phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile devices are a major target for cybercriminals. Without a strong mobile threat defense strategy, your employees’ smartphones and tablets could be an entry point for attackers, leading to data breaches, malware infections, and unauthorized access to your business network.

Common mobile threats include:

 

  • Phishing attacks (via SMS, email, or apps)
  • Malware and spyware
  • Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks over public Wi-Fi
  • Device exploits targeting OS vulnerabilities
  • Unauthorized access due to weak credentials or lost devices

Cybriant provides comprehensive mobile threat defense through two plans:

 

  • Standard Mobile Threat Defense Plan: Includes continuous monitoring, automated threat detection, and compliance enforcement.
  • Advanced Mobile Threat Defense Plan: Adds AI-driven threat intelligence, proactive security updates, and real-time response to active threats.

The Standard Mobile Threat Defense Plan detects and blocks phishing attempts, malware, and unauthorized network connections. It also ensures your company’s mobile devices stay compliant with security policies, reducing risk exposure.

The Advanced Mobile Threat Defense Plan enhances security with AI-powered threat intelligence, real-time remediation, and custom security configurations tailored to your organization’s needs.

A mobile threat defense program is critical because mobile devices often bypass traditional security measures like firewalls. Without a dedicated defense strategy, attackers can exploit mobile networks to infiltrate your business.
