Mobile Security

Security was also simple in the early days when networks were disconnected and small. However, as networks began to connect with each other, their size grew, and with the addition of rapidly expanding mobile communications, they became more than imaginable. is because we can not control by physical methods such as network equipment as before. For such complex situations, PentaSecurity mobile security solutions provide appropriate security solutions.
The mobile operating system market is virtually divided between Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

IOS is derived from Unix and Android is based on the Linux kernel. Both operating systems are similar to common operating systems installed on PCs in that they take full form by having elements such as CPU memory, keyboard display network, and so on.

Therefore, the security management method of the mobile operating system is not much different from that of the general PC.

Mobile security solutions can be classified into six categories according to their nature.

Antivirus: Detecting and handling malware and phishing threats

Preventing forgery on apps: Detecting and handling maliciously tampered apps

Encryption: Essential security by encrypting sensitive transfer data

Security keypad: Encrypt important input information using virtual keypad

Certificate relay: Verifying and managing digital signature based on public certificate

Mobile SSO: Integrated identity protection through management of access rights and authentication information


While it is often said that antivirus is all about security, the authentication process is as important as anti-virus, including encryption and SSO.

Encryption changes the form of the information itself to make it worthless unless you acquire a key. Prior to additional methods such as blocking input information disclosure and preventing information from being extracted in memory, encryption is used to block threats that target your important information.

In business areas where personal information such as mobile payments must be treated very strictly, it is important to verify and manage various digital signatures based on public certificate. The integrated identity for user convenience is also the subject of authentication information management.

Because the mobile operating system is very similar to the operating system of a typical PC, the mobile security vulnerability is similar to that of a PC, except for some form differences.

However, there are security issues unique to mobile devices.

First of all, the biggest feature of mobile devices is high portability. And it is the use of various input and output devices such as Bluetooth. Since mobile devices are always mobile, there is a high likelihood that they will move to physical security vulnerable places. It is easy to get attacked and unintentionally used as a means of attack.

Bluetooth devices, which are usually wireless, are usually small, low-power devices due to power issues. As a result, it is generally difficult to implement sufficient security measures and authentication procedures. Assuming you are exploiting a high portability and bluetooth vulnerability to break into a mobile device, the device is already in your hands.

The only way to escape the crisis is to encrypt information.

The aforementioned BYOD culture has completely changed the business environment of enterprises. The proliferation of very convenient but very dangerous climates, the importance of mobile security is likely to grow in the future. From 2011 to 2016, the mobile security business expects a compound annual growth rate of 23.4%.
