From the report, “With so much of our personal information now flowing through mobile applications, has our security awareness kept pace? Have consumers adopted best practice behaviors or are they leaving themselves vulnerable to cyber attacks? To better understand consumer behavior, RiskIQ commissioned Ginger Comms² to survey 1,000 US and 1,000 UK consumers aged 16 to 60+, specifically focusing on smartphone apps. The survey was conducted between February and March 2017.”

In this report, IntSights looks to identify which mobile platforms are gaining traction and may be the future backbone of the illegal cyber-economy. The data in this report will help you understand how dark web communication is changing with mobile adoption and how this impacts the way security teams monitor dark web activity. By reading this report, security teams can better prepare for this shift and be better resourced to evolve with it

From the report, “Without trust, the future of our digital economy and its nearly limitless potential is in peril. Piecemeal efforts to address cybersecurity issues—including the Internet’s inherent flaws, vulnerabilities from the Internet of Things (IoT), identity and data veracity and increasing digital fragmentation—have fallen short. Through their decisions above ground on industry-wide governance and their business architecture and technology infrastructure below ground, however, CEOs can have the influence necessary to collaboratively address these overarching issues.”

A survey of financial services executives responsible for digital security measures at their firms (see Methodology) sheds light on the industry’s objectives for digital channels, perceptions about the scale of the threat posed by fraud and a range of vectors for attack, and confidence in existing defenses.

Long gone are the simple days of malware threats only being associated with the computers on our desks or at our business offices. Today, we’ve all become accustomed to malware infiltrating our homes and pockets across a variety of platforms, be that our telephones, tablets, smart TV or even ‘connected’ devices such as our fridges. Whilst malware can be tailored for different platforms and differ in their abilities or functionality, the overall taxonomy remains very much the same. Back in the ‘halcyon’ days many malware authors released their wares for fun, ‘lulz’ in modern parlance, today most are criminally motivated and driven by financial gain, ideology, revenge and nation state doctrine. The objective of these attacks, and the compromised devices or networks, are typically similar and result in the threat actor gaining access, leading to the theft of confidential and personal information, or disrupting the operations and functionality.

This report takes a look at the “Key Reinstallation Attack” VULN that works against all modern protected Wi-Fi- networks.

“Threat intelligence has become a significant weapon in the fight against cybersecurity threats, and a large majority of organizations have made it a key part of their security programs. Among the key findings of the report are that organizations are leveraging threat intelligence data for a number of use cases, and many rate themselves fairly competent in their use of threat intelligence to identify and remediate cyber threats. The most common benefits of threat intelligence platforms include better threat analysis, faster detection and response, more efficient security operations, and better visibility into threats.”

Consumers rely on their mobile devices on an ever‐growing basis to keep them connected. Smartphones and tablets provide them with access to each other through email, messaging, and social media while also putting financial services and shopping in the palm of their hands. And each and every one of these activities holds value for criminals in search of account credentials and personally identifiable information (PII) to sell or misuse. Unfortunately, for all of the potential that mobile devices represent, the apathy of every mobile stakeholder is undermining the security of mobile devices and the accounts of their users. Protecting Android, iOS, and Windows mobile device users from fraud will require a concerted effort by all stakeholders to eliminate vulnerabilities, encourage security‐minded behaviors, and to leverage all the security benefits that mobile devices have to offer.

To better understand the mindset and priorities of those who make security decisions for mobile devices in the workplace, Ping Identity conducted a mobility survey in partnership with Gatepoint Research. The results shed light on four main insights into the top challenges and motivations for enterprise mobile initiatives.
