Abstract

As enterprises realize the efficiency in which employees operate by using mobile apps and allowing employees to bring their own smartphones, a merging of enterprise and consumer use presents real risks to the enterprise. We’ll discuss a number of mobile attack scenarios that may compromise enterprise data and present to you how attackers may try to get at information within smartphones. We will outline recommendations on what you should avoid when designing and developing mobile applications to protect yourself from such attacks.
