In The Digital Era, Where Data Happens To Be The Most Important,

HOW TO PREVENT “IMPROPER PLATFORM USAGE”: Use of secure coding plus configuration on mobile application servers. ( OWASP, 2017)

Design and implementation of this project is divided into two parts: 
i) Penetration testing of real-world applications using variety of tools available. 
ii) Secure coding guideline for iOS developers as a counter measure to possible threats which includes development of jailbreak detection application.

The world of cyber security continues to introduce new threats each year against network infrastructures and computer devices. In the recent years, the impact from cyber-attacks has wreaked havoc on many company brands and organizational reputations. As this issue grows so does the technology to prevent and protect against these malicious attacks. It is absolutely crucial for organizations and businesses to shift focus from defense for different types of attacks to improving safeguards to mitigate the loss of sensitive data when an attack occurs. In addition to the traditional security technology used to detect an attack, companies will have to include

Today, businesses both large and small face immense cyber threats and must continuously evolve to

This article gives a synopsis of threats to the mobile devices and the data existing in them and the available defenses. It classifies seven different types of threats on mobile devices and then it discusses about the precautions that can be taken to avoid these threats. It recommends how to prioritize the different threats and defenses.

The authors have organized the article very logically by giving a series of problems that link together can make the smartphone insecure by giving the examples of outside sources: operating system security issues of L. Xing et al., “Unauthorized Cross-App Resource Access on MAC OSX and iOS,”, memory corruption attacks of E. Schwartz et al., “Q: Exploit Hardening Made Easy,”, etc. These logical series can build stronger relationships to the ethos and pathos to make their writing more effective.

A successful business works on the basis of revenue growth and loss prevention. Whenever an organization start a project, they first plan for security because security breach can impact on overall project like data leakage, down-time and reputation loss. This may, in turn, impact on the company’s bottom line and ultimately profit margins. A virus attack on project or a network breach can cost a business thousands of dollars. In some cases, it may even lead to legal liability and lawsuits.

At this stage in evolution, society cannot escape its dependence on information technology. The need to protect sensitive data will continue as long as this persists. Amazingly, a recent poll of 4,100 enterprises revealed that 70-percent didn’t have a contingency plan for cyberattacks. The firms reported that they had the resources to purchase what was needed to secure their networks, but couldn’t find trained specialists to deploy the

In today’s world it is highly impossible for any kind of business to function without the assistance of technology. Any company that relies on digital data and computer networks have exposure to a host of varying Cyber Attacks. As technology continues to evolve, cyber security breaches become even more difficult to solve. The cybersecurity world rightly believes in the maxim – It’s not if, it’s when!

Small excerpt of the growing market of mobile security application. Focuses on the creating of a new

As company’s dependence on computers and the internet increase, there are more and more threats that they face from hackers and anarchist alike. For ever solution that companies come up with to defend themselves against cyber attacks, those who wish to do harm find other means to attack, it is a constant cat and mouse struggle. If 2011 has been any indication, it is clear that everyone is vulnerable to cyber attacks. There was wave after wave of hacking, malware, and spear-phishing attacks that succeeded in exploiting many well-known businesses, such as RSA and Sony, which lead to the exposure of millions of records. (Schwartz, 2012) The

Thesis; Along with the efficiency mobile devices render, come along its risks, in which raises substantial security and privacy concerns. It’s important to be aware of the possible threats a mobile can have, along with knowing what and how to secure information, as well as trying to prevent threats from happening.

The increasing volume and sophistication of cyber security threats including targeted data theft, phishing scams and other online vulnerabilities demand that we remain vigilant about securing our systems and information.

C RYPTOGRAPHY T ECHNIQUES The cloud service providers should address the still open cloud security problems in order to encourage users to use this technology. The most important concerns are confidentiality, integrity and availability. In a complex and non-transparent system like cloud computing, it is difficult for a user to even determine what kind of security measures are implemented in the cloud. This section presents Cryptography, as one of the security measure that can be implemented.

Almost all kind of large and small organizations might face increasing number of attacks into their network or intellectual property. This may lead to data disclosure, data destruction, and damage of organization’s reputation. There are numerous threats in the cyber space which might be capable of stealing, destroying or making use of out sensitive data for financial and non-financial gains. As the amount of computer, mobile and internet users increases, so does the number of exploiters.
