Mobile Application Security Framework

Enterprise Mobility is rapidly expanding opportunities for companies to enhance clients’ engagement levels and simplify and improve their interactions. Unfortunately, those opportunities also create significant security threats for businesses and consumers.

The result is that dynamic threat detection and protection are now fundamental to mobile application security. These measures must assess threats dynamically at the point of access, rather than relying on a more traditional implementation

in the infrastructure, on the device, or in the network. In other words, in the new mobile era, trust must be established dynamically rather than based on statically determined factors.

A successful mobile security framework considers new threat models around the mobile device and then leverages emerging technologies such as device ngerprinting, OS reputation, jailbreak detection, and location with augmented reality (AR) to help determine threat levels and allow or restrict transactions based on risk pro ling.
