Based on ‘zero-trust’ and ‘zero-control’ concept, TrustSpace helps enterprises to fully activate BYOD working mode in both IT managers and final users perspectives. It builds a three- level trust system including system environment, identity boundary, and application data, makes the mobile working secure and reliable for IT managers. Moreover, zero management of device, zero collection of privacy, and zero cost of usage, are used to eliminate the mobile users’ privacy concern and stimulate the final users’ mobile working vitality. TrustSpace ‘zero-trust’ security technology is to build a trustworthy workspace on open mobile device, to provide the general data protection scheme for enterprise-level applications and data and completely reduce series of safety risks due to enterprise mobility. TrustSpace ‘Zero-trust’ security is a new secure model built based on device, user, and application, respectively shown as follows: • Trusted Device system environment Source: 360 Enterprise Security Group Based on mobile security big data, TrustSpace MTD (mobile threat defense) technology provides device-level (such as Jailbreak/Root, system vulnerability, and system configuration compliance detection), network-level (such as Wi-Fi security detection), and application-level (such as malicious APP behavior detection) risk perception and threat detection on mobile device, to ensure that TrustSpace run in a secure and trusted operating environment. Source: 360 Enterprise Security Group 3 • Trusted User identity boundary • Trusted Enterprise application and data By deep integration of new-generation container technology and TrustSpace makes the enterprise application/data trusted by protecting identity authentication technology, TrustSpace re-divides the boundary the data in full-life cycle. The mobile device data full-life cycle model of enterprise applications. The boundary has two meanings. The first includes different stages such as data storage, data usage, data meaning is that the boundary is TrustSpace, which builds a basic sharing, and data transmission. At each stage, some core technologies boundary between enterprise applications and personal applications and security mechanisms are used to protect data. At the data storage by container technology and verifies the user identity by implementing stage, the application-layer transparent encryption and decryption basic identity authentication at the entrance of the boundary. The technology is utilized to create an independent secure area in mobile second meaning is the internal application boundary inside TrustSpace device to strong encrypt documents requiring local storage.

At the data transmission stage, the TLS-based application- guarantee that these highly-sensitive or highly-valuable applications level encrypted channel is used to realize the secure channel access. can be accessed securely by right users at the right time and place. At the data usage stage, in order to effectively prevent data leakage, it’s necessary to set policies, such as the screenshot protection policy, copy- and-paste prohibition policy, and application/document watermarking policy, etc. At the data sharing stage, the main work is to restrict the data sharing and exchanging between applications in the workspace, or between internal applications and personal applications. The core of data reliability is the data storage reliability, where the key issue is to secure management and storage of the encryption key. TrustSpace secure key box technology is just the right method to realize the secure storage and management of key data such as the encryption key, certificate, etc. It provides the foundation for building a reliability and protection scheme for the enterprise application data through its full life cycle within TrustSpace.

  • The Million Dollar Dissident: NSO Group's Iphone Zero-Days Used Against a UAE Human Rights Defender
    Research Teaching News Lab Projects GLA2010 In the News About Publications Newsletter People Archives Events Opportunities Contact The Million Dollar Dissident: NSO Group’s iPhone Zero-Days used against a UAE Human Rights Defender August 24, 2016 Categories: Bill Marczak, John Scott-Railton, Reports and Briefings Authors: Bill Marczak and John Scott-Railton, Senior Researchers at the Citizen Lab, with the assistance of the research team at Lookout Security. Media coverage: The New York Times, Motherboard, Gizmodo, Wired, Washington Post, ZDNet. This report describes how a government targeted an internationally recognized human rights defender, Ahmed Mansoor, with the Trident, a chain of zero-day exploits designed to infect his iPhone with sophisticated commercial spyware. 1. Executive Summary Ahmed Mansoor is an internationally recognized human rights defender, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and recipient of the Martin Ennals Award (sometimes referred to as a “Nobel Prize for human rights”). On August 10 and 11, 2016, Mansoor received SMS text messages on his iPhone promising “new secrets” about detainees tortured in UAE jails if he clicked on an included link. Instead of clicking, Mansoor sent the messages to Citizen Lab researchers. We recognized the links as belonging to an exploit infrastructure connected to NSO Group, an Israel-based “cyber war” company that sells Pegasus, a government- exclusive “lawful intercept” spyware product. NSO Group is reportedly owned by an American venture capital firm, Francisco Partners Management. The ensuing investigation, a collaboration between researchers from Citizen Lab and from Lookout Security, determined that the links led to a chain of zero-day exploits (“zero-days”) that would have remotely jailbroken Mansoor’s stock iPhone 6 and installed sophisticated spyware.

    IDC MarketScape IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software 2018–2019 Vendor Assessment Phil Hochmuth IDC MARKETSCAPE FIGURE FIGURE 1 IDC MarketScape Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software Vendor Assessment Source: IDC, 2018 Please see the Appendix for detailed methodology, market definition, and scoring criteria. December 2018, IDC #US44521018 IDC OPINION As mobile security and governance frameworks mature, mobile threat management (MTM) software tools are filling a major security gap many enterprises are discovering across one of their most pervasive technology deployments: smartphones and tablets used by employees. Many organizations see enterprise mobility management (EMM; technology which manages, configures, and monitors mobiles) as the beginning and end of their mobile endpoint security strategy. While many EMM platforms support security functions (compliance checking, VPN connectivity, data security/encryption, and device certificate management, etc.), most EMMs do not actively scan for mobile-related threats on devices. This is where MTM technology comes in, with its ability to address actively misbehaving or malicious apps, as well as OS and network-based attacks on devices. Driving many MTM early adoptions, and among more mature deployments, is the desire to deploy another layer of security to mobile end-user computing in addition to EMM. Among the more than two- dozen MTM customer interviews conducted for this document, 100% of these enterprises deployed their respective MTM products with an EMM platform; nearly all said that meeting existing or potential future compliance requirements was among the top 3 drivers behind their adoption of the technology. These requirements are driving much of the direction of the market from an MTM feature set and overall go-to-market strategy for MTM vendors.

It indicates that the price of an Android full-chain exploit with persistence can fetch the developer up to 2,500,000 dollars. The going rate for a similar exploit for Apple’s iOS has gone down by 500,000 dollars and is now worth 2,000,000. This is the first confirmed time when Android exploits are valued more than iOS. Zerodium payouts for mobile devices Up to $2,500,000 Android zero click full compromise chain with persistence. Up to $2,000,000 iOS zero click full compromise chain with persistence.
