DESCRIPTION
Mobile devices with their hugely increased usage of various applications and services have attracted a plethora of possible attacks. Organisations and businesses have to adapt and deploy special security measures while users face new generation of security threats.
This subject provides an in-depth technical overview of the new security risks and threats of modern mobile platforms and operating systems, and their implications. It also introduces mobile threats ranging The subject also covers the security of enterprise networks, while BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) model is being widely adopted in corporate and small/medium size enterprise networks. This poses significant additional and new threats to network security administrators. The subject covers how Shadow IT solutions might not be relevant and how administrators should adapt to circumvent insider attacks enabled by BYOD.
The subject takes practice-based learning allowing students to perform penetrations tests to some locally set private networks. It also uncovers some limitations of one the most popular tools to trace back information leakage in mobile apps by giving the students the possibility to demonstrate their own covert channel techniques. Finally, the students are able to adapt a regular network firewalling policy to mobile environment and observe the possible threats and circumvention techniques.
