Mobile App Security Take Any Mobile App and Make It Secure Ray Bennett Microstrategy - Director, Mobile Service Line World, Las Vegas, 2015

Agenda - State of the Art Mobile App Security Introduction - Mobile Security Concerns - MicroStrategy s 7 Pillars of Mobile App Security MicroStrategy Security Model 1. Authentication 2. Device/Application 3. Data 4. Authorization 5. Operations 6. Platform Mobile Device Management (MDM) Summary

Introduction What are the threats and what is at stake?

Mobile Security Concerns and Risks Most Concerning - Lack of Control Network Domain: More Control External Domain: Less Control Malware Rootkits Botnets Phishing Ransom-ware Intrusions

Top Mobile Threats for 2015 According to McAfee Labs *From: McAfee Labs Threats Report. http://www.mcafee.com/us/resources/reports/rp-quarterly-threat-q3-2014.pdf

How Big a Problem is Mobile Malware? Total mobile malware samples exceeded 5 million in Q3 2014, up by 16% in this quarter and 112% in the past year *From: McAfee Labs Threats Report. http://www.mcafee.com/us/resources/reports/rp-quarterly-threat-q3-2014.pdf

The Expanding Mobile Device Ecosystem Increased exposure Devices do not work in a vacuum - Connect to one or more cloud-based services (enterprise Exchange server, Gmail, MobileMe, icloud, etc.), home or work PC, or all of above When properly deployed, both platforms allow users to simultaneously synchronize devices with private and enterprise cloud services without risking data exposure - However, there are several scenarios in which services may be abused by employees, resulting in exposure of enterprise data

Mobile Means More Exposure Victims of our own success Cloud Ever Expanding Attack Surface Internet of Things BYOD Bluetooth More >> Users Device Types Integration Points Moving Parts

What is Compromised and Needs Protecting? Names, Telephone Numbers - Contact Information Email Addresses Text Messages Notes Browser history Application Data (Financial Numbers, Forecasts) Trade Secrets..and on

Microstrategy Mobile Secure Solution Preview A Complete, Flexible, and Customizable Security Model Authentication - Multi-factor, via Touch ID, Passcode & Certificate Communication - Information Flow Mobile Server Intelligence Server Firewall Firewall Device Security - Native hardware security including passcode, auto-lock, failed attempt limits Application Security - Double encryption with app level passcode, online or offline Data Protection - AES 256-bit encryption of data in transit and at rest Authorization - Access managed dynamically based on profile and privileges Operations Engineered process and methodology that defines how mobile technology is to be securely used Platform Security - multi-tier architecture to ensure integrity of mobile computing / BI data

Mobile Security Custom Models are a balancing act A Mobile Security Model needs to be Customizable 1. Authentication 2. Device 3. Application 4. Data 5. Authorization 6. Operations 7. Platform Fully Open Unsecured Least Secure Fully Lock Down Most Secure

Tolerance to Risk vs. Corporate and User Needs A Mobile Security Model Needs to be Flexible Security Functionality User Experience

Authentication Credentials Request and Access Log-ins

Microstrategy App Passcode, as of 9.4.1, Update 3 An added layer of authentication protection Device level application security Issues credential challenge on each entry Encrypts local caches

Microstrategy App Passcode First Entry into App Create and Confirm password Challenge Create Confirm

Microstrategy App Passcode Each Successive Entry Attempt

Touch ID New in 9.4.1, Update 5 Advanced Biometric Authentication Integration 5X stronger According to Apple, there is 1 in 50K chance of registering a false fingerprint match versus 1 in 10K chance of guessing a 4-digit passcode No guessing Trying out 50,000 different fingerprints is an incredible logistical challenge. Hack proof Apple doesn t store the fingerprint as an image; they store it as a mathematical representation that hackers can t reverse engineer. Convenient Split second access. Don t have to remember an additional passcode. Unique to you; impossible to forget. Supported on ios8 for iphone 5s, 6, 6+, ipad Air 2, ipad Mini 3

Apple ios ios8 Secure Encryption Model

Google Android Security Model 1. Security at the Operating System level through the Linux kernel 2. Mandatory application sandbox 3. Secure inter-process communication 4. Application signing 5. Application-defined and user granted permissions

Security Models Android and ios devices - varying degrees Isolation - Limits app s ability to access sensitive data or systems on device Permissions-based access control - Grants set of permissions to each app and then limits each app to accessing device data/systems within the scope of permissions Traditional access control - Protects devices by using techniques such as passwords and idle time screen locking Limited Hardware Access - Apps can not directly access the underlying hardware Data Encryption - Conceals data at rest on device to address device loss or theft

Apple s ios vs. Google s Android A General Summation ios A locked-down platform - Strict Controls on Device and Store - Well designed and thus far, resistant to attack - Rigorous certification model which vets the identity of software authors and weeds out attackers Android Freedom with precaution - Major improvement over traditional computing programs - Less rigorous certification model which allows a more open development environment - Relies on users to make important security decisions

Data Protecting Sensitive Data at Rest and in Transit

Symmetric Cryptography/Encryption Protects data at rest or in transit (i.e., AES (128, 192, 256)) Hello! 6&%3!aO! Hello!
