Mobile Application Security

Rapid growth and adoption of mobile applications creates a new challenge for security personnel. There are many issues to address when it comes to mobile application security: How do enterprises secure mobile applications without limiting the users? How can mobile applications be secured? Which mobile application should be available to the enterprise mobile users? How are these mobile applications provisioned for the users? How easily can mobile applications be accessed and how do enterprises control access to these mobile applications?

Cloud computing is growing at a very rapid rate because of it's inherent benefits that are well documented and publicized. But security for cloud computing has been a key issue in the industry. CloudAccess SingleSource platform provides comprehensive security for mobile users in the cloud computing. One of the CloudAccess SingleSource Identity and Access Management suite of services is user provisioning so that mobile users can easily and securely access their applications while the administrators can manage and monitor application users.While CloudAccess Identity and Access Management provide for user provisioning into public and provide clouds, CloudAccess SIEM and Log Management provides for monitoring network and system for malware-prevention and network protection.

Enterprises could take a number of steps to protect their networks, systems, application and data from attacks and unauthorized access:

  • Strong Authentication: Strong authentication is a simple way to reduce unauthorized access. For even stronger authentication organizations could use one-time passwords that are renewed every time. Although there is an associated overhead with this approach, the locally stored passwords that are typically placed by the users will no longer be a risk for enterprise application access.

  • Secured unified Personal Security Token/Credentials: The key for preventing unauthorized application or data access is to identify an authorized user. An embedded and secured password vault on on each employee mobile device will provide reduce unauthorized access. The result is that only employees with trusted devices can access corporate applications.

  • Mobile Portal: Provide an easy-to-use corporate and secure portal on mobile devices so that the users can easily and securely access the enterprise applications while administrators manage access from a centralized location.

As smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices become increasingly more prevalent in business the secured access from these devices become even more critical. Enterprise security policies need to be extended to include mobile devices. This can easily be accomplished by identifying the mobile device that is accessing corporate assets and applying the techniques mentioned above.

CloudAccess SingleSource platform technology are mobile-ready. All the functions and feature of Identity Management, Web SSO, SaaS SSO, SIEM and Log Management are mobile ready. In addition, CloudAccess portal can easily be integrated into mobile devices.
