Enterprise Attacks by Mobile Devices Not Fully Realized
Introduction:
Modern day businesses work on more than one factor. Due to scope and perimeter of business, many units of it stay far and wide at different destinations. Coordination among all these subunits are important. Communication among different parts of the organization creates a sense of integration within administrative units. It leads to speedy decision making and correct execution of orders on separate legs of the organization. Proper communication network from within different legs of organization makes coordination and proper implementation of different ideas. With the advent of a new Information Technology (IT) initiative, there are plenty of applications and devices that can virtually function with customers at different interactive forums. Information technology network is a vehicle of communication medium with fully automation facilities for clients to take advantage of early information releases. Conversely, the same IT network collects real-time analytics of visitors’ advent to the server and provides opportunities for administrators to analyze trends and demand of customers.
It helps smooth transitions of real time customer relationship management (CRM) with immediate consumers. It serves to decrease delaying time and increase efficiency by creating a constant channel of communication between industries and suppliers. The dashboard of IT and the process of CRM help management to create proper business objectives to reach decisions about the business. It helps to support new business models suitable for rapid growth of business by implementing suitable adaptations techniques from CRM’s analytics, insights and sensors. All these create a network integration services (NIS) which are best to suit any type of network at different responsive zones from situation airing out of different business consequences. NIS prepares Organization for upcoming dynamic challenges reaching out from different environments as consequences of complete change of market dynamics and competitors advantages. NIS has every solution for organizations in times of emergency and this sets it as the most preferable and dynamic platform for business ventures to adapt different challenging situations with a strong shelf enabled tool to compete with any situations.
Challengers to market leaders:
Business is not constant. If there is a monopoly of any company at some point in time in a particular place, at some other time there will be many competitors who enter to topple the market leader. Market leaders should be empowered to attack and defend from such business rivals so as to stay at the top at any eventualities. Almost all the time, business needs are constantly challenged with emerging technologies to wipe those business organizations within the shortest possible of time. Here, is a case in a failed example where a market leader comes to grassroots within shortest possible of time. Bajaj brought out scooter and it became a huge success. Distribution of scooters was not good as it failed to create a complete hub and spoke in logistic management all around India. Demands for such scooters are on higher side due to price affordability and conveniences for middle income groups to have a two wheeler in their perusal. People had to wait here for more than a year to receive their scooter. Their hard-earned money is booked and it stays with the company for more than a year. Many parents used to look scooter prior to one year of their daughter’s marriage and had been waiting for long to receive such. In the mean time, one hardware subsidiary of this company parted ways and it became a single company and an immediate challenger to Bajaj scooters. Slowly, Vespa the immediate challenger became number one and the market leader slipped into second place. Vespa introduced immediate supply of scooters and for the first time it introduced showroom for two wheeler in many capital cities all across India. Instead of there waiting for months, people went to other companies that provided good products. Due to lack of changing insight of Bajaj in realizing the changing demand and perception of customers, it failed to stay at the top position for the remaining time.
In the coming years, Honda Company introduced motor cycles which were slightly lighter in nature than a bullet from Enfield and Rajdoot. They became hugely popular but instead of grabbing market share of Enfield it cut across the market share of scooters. In this way, many upcoming challengers to Bajaj scooters such as Vespa and Bajaj itself had to completely shut down their scooter businesses. These companies had seen such humongous failure due to vendor-neutrality and lack of consultative form of decision making at the highest strata of enterprise resource planning (ERP). These stayed with network delivery systems to immensely coordinate in attending different business goals in different challenging circumstances. Business models are created to prepare the organization to create a field suitable to revert back different business challenges at different point of times. Business challenges are used by clients to create a sense of familiarity while browsing for different information technology enabled service (ITeS). Increase use of cloud-enabled services (CES), mobile enabled services and applications (MESA), build your own device (BYOD) have empowered organizations to analyze real-time data analytics to optimize business performance that are dependable upon new and different blend of expertise of professionals contributing to the success of organization. While making research to buy a decent hosting for website, the author has to analyze different factors in his decision making processes. There are many web registrars who are offering expert website and domain hosting. Out of all these short-listed companies, prominence in reaching absolute decision comes from design of hosting website in reaching different settings easily with CRM. CRM is an essential and integral part of an emerging organization. It helps customers to decide and reach the conclusion and it gives them a comfort to upcoming company which they are going to work for now. All these parameters of attributes leads to single window decision making customers and it gives them fully optimized solution to reach sufficient conclusion to decide upon which host they want to work with.
Information technology enabled services:
For hosting registrar companies, round the clock assistance and guidance for customers is a genuine boon for spreading word-of-mouth from different areas all across the world. Web Registrar companies have customers from different zones of the world. A US (United States) Company might have customers from India, Brazil, South Africa and France. Time-zone all across these continents are completely atypical. For this round, the clock online and offline CRM can boost and optimize potential for growth of such companies. Due to spread of internet and business emergence among neo-middle classes all across society gives way for creation of their virtual presence with the help of website. It establishes the need for round-the clock access to application and data from different time-zones of the world. To web-hosting some third party applications such as ‘akismet’, ‘drop box’. Both these scripts can be automated with third party installed like ‘softaculous’ to create a complete automated install of self-hosted-website. This is an example, of how a good CRM coupled with a strong IT infrastructure in ITES can enhance perspective of business growth and optimize different solutions to bring forward source of competitive capabilities to float ahead among equals in the same marketing segment in business environment. All these critical issues if not cleared on time can have potential to harm business benefits.
These issues imply to all other distinct market dynamics. One hour of downtime of electronic commerce (e-commerce) website can inflict heavy loss of flow of revenue streams from internet enabled services, automated supply chains and inflict long-term damage to client relationships. It brings a bad name to the registrar and through word of mouth it spreads to different web masters leading to mass exodus of web hosting to different other web –registrars. Here, example comes from hosting registrars but it can be applicable to all segments of companies which are dealing with clients and fully dependable on the extreme satisfaction of customers. A bad name for companies from different hosting parameters can decrease considerably the productivity of its in-house employees and can decrease in-house expertise of these companies to a bare minimum level so as to create a sense of negative discourse from within different segment of the organization. All these organizations need a complete structured delivery methods depending upon complete overhaul of integrated solutions to create an immediate response time of server from any point of time after receiving a query. A practical road map for every organization is most which include future perspectives regarding goals and aims of organizations which can be clearly mentioned in each chapter and documents of the organization. Every employee must have recourse to such charters and must depend upon different online and offline aids to increase efficiency and functionalities in achieving set goals from within the boundaries of an organization. Sophisticated tools which determine different cost-effective and excellent ways to analyze growth of an organization can be accessed from different information technology enabled services at different point of time.
Common core state standardized requirements:
Business organizations have academic, technology, management benefits while constituting an integrated road map for digitally-driven customized marketing solutions. Every year, available technologies for corporate are spiraling into distinctive units, posing serious challenges to administrators of industries to create dynamic strategies to suit business organizations from time to time. With each new advancement and up gradation comes a fresh challenge for companies to make innovation and empowerment to face higher competitive environments. Fortunately, smart strategies for digital practices are becoming clearer. Business organizations are increasingly going for smarter integrated technologies which are cost-effective solutions for proper time-management of distributing unique information technology enabled services (ITES). Each organization has unique needs of demanding and requires different alternative strategies to suit local controls in practicing better digitally management solutions for immediate and prospective customers. Each organization has common core state standardized requirements (CCSS) to increase market participation and augment intrinsic talents of in-house staffs. CCSS recognizes first the inherent demand from within its employees and try to grab analytics of customer’s demand and choice of products and create customized units for different individual customer’s customized solutions to suit their marketing needs and basic demands.
CCSS creates a whole set of unique concepts for organizations to put forward different dynamic set up which are not available to other competitive organization in the same marketing segment. The inherently complex wish of the customer is measured through deep penetrative market permutations from different statistical methods to arrive at perfect elements to counter the competitor’s product and create a perfect niche product to remove immediate customers and build a unique market for a different set of products. CCSS not only serves customers better but also increase the effectiveness of organizations to accommodate modern economic realities Big well-known companies falling upon hard times are not uncommon. Taking the leaf out of Motorola mobile company, who has pioneered mobile services and push notifications which are being used by different companies, is now falling behind every mobile manufacturing vendors. Push notifications invented by Motorola is a futuristic technology and it is used by Android in giving virtual shortcuts to all internet synchronization features, is completely wasted by Motorola due to lack of futuristic vision in creating core state standardize requirements (CCSS) which should have been prime focus of this mobile driven hardware manufacturing-company.
Loss of trade secrets can impact negative growth for company:
When, resources go digital even while facing ongoing challenges such as financial, regulatory prohibitions, still many industries go for complete automation of the existing network in order to create a smarter world full of information where time matters the most. The answer to this is that technology prepares ground for new exciting ways to prepare the organization for the latest developments and trends. There are numerous research papers which have wholeheartedly discussed about impact of technology on industrial output and productivity. Most researchers have wholeheartedly agreed about, efficacy of implementation of a network server in driving out wide scale benefits to final output of the organization. Technology brings rapid change to basic functioning of an organization. It minimizes workforce response time, invigilates simulated work conditions and guard organization from further external attacks. Technology successes are not guaranteed at the ground level. It depends upon skills of the task force who confronts with those at the front-end level. In the long run, after super success of implementation of network tools which is available at different front-end office optimization scenario is slowly moving towards the trend of mobile and smart phone arena to enable the concept of bring your own device (BYOD) to the doorsteps of organizations. Historically, servers, databases and applications are important destinations for cyber attacks. More than 90 percentages of cyber attacks and out surge eminent from different weird zones.
Tiny credit card readers and small cameras can track credit card details and can telecast details through small GSM antennas. In this approach, many such credit and bank ATM frauds surfaced. There are many instances of fault of technology or faults arising out of smart implementation of technology lead to negative impacts on technology processing which ultimately create huge losses for individuals and companies. Loss of trade secrets can impact negative growth for the company. With the advent of Android and Apple mobile operating system, more and more losses of trade secret and moving of important files and information to hackers who bargain to immediate competitors of the corporation to sell classified documents. With smart features, most of smart phones have credit card readers, inbuilt camera for hidden capture of security details of credit card which leads to significant loss of revenues for individuals as well as for corporates. ATM card transactions, petrol pump card are also vulnerable to hack into security details which can open the floodgates access its credentials without administrator rights. There is a need for networking of all smart phones in use by corporate employee at corporate place so as to keep a vigilant eye on workers who are dealing with matter of extreme secrecy. If no such principles are there, then in no way, employees could be prohibited to take a snap shot of classified documents with smart phone and release elsewhere. Modern smart phones have a high intensity camera which can take high definition screenshot and then can send it elsewhere through different networking means. Think of a situation where companies have restricted access of USB (Universal serial bus) drive into the organization. Despite all these employees can take a screenshot and take away information about organizations in one go.
Layered firewall security:
Photographing of data on the screen cannot be stopped and cannot be banned altogether if mobiles are allowed within the premises of the organization. There are numerous examples of data breaching due to outdated flash content embedded within excel documents. Outdated Adobe, Flash and Microsoft Office products lead to a mass exodus of hacking elements reaching into the setting of data server and pinging back documents back to host of attacker’s computer. There is less evidence of mobile devices as an initial point of data entry, but certainly it creates suitable and congenial elements for hackers to find the secret path of entry into data-mining of organization. Surprisingly, most hackers and attackers have not yet been realized the potential of entry through smart phones for creating a data breach. There are a few issues that have been stopping most attackers to go through mobile devices.
Close end security system and single window security system:
Google concentrates on protecting data itself no matter which devices accesses it from which locations. This simplifies the process of security and gives a free hand to its employees to innovate and discover many new inventions that have been rolling in the arena of the world from time to time. Unlike many other enterprises which mostly concentrate on securing behavioral aspects of employees in keeping them out from any such security functionalities which the other side is completely restricting access to employees. It has various negative connotations as it completely restricts potentiality of employees to go for any such product innovation and research due to implementation of close-end security system. In the future, enterprises will need to make such amends and need to look beyond the perimeter of an organization to start again for building completely secure infrastructure of data warehousing It creates one point security system without bothering anything about the presence of different dynamics for infrastructure for safeguarding entire security terminal of organization. World is moving at a faster speed and in every minute unbelievable form of data are processed within the realm of organizations.
With the advent of smartphone and mobile phones, the role of cloud computing has entirely different connotations and this lead to the creation of light years of fast processing of data within coming two years. In the coming years whole set up of organizational attacks will be made in the perimeter of data security and for this enterprises need to recognize this and should treat all these imminent dangers in the manner they treat aliens in space. Space is a broad stretch of unimaginable land where the more you enter the more you lost. Similarly, the constitution of data inside servers is transcending all barriers of entry. The world of attackers is a completely different world constituting of blind folded fight between attackers and security administrators. There is little doubt that organizations are slowly moving towards completely mobility. Many enterprises are heavily dependent on ambulatory services. Mobile networking within an enterprise server is getting prominent, but slowly they are exposing security gaps within organizational spheres. It is duty of the organization to create combinations of security networking tools that can certainly fill security vulnerabilities all across organizational spheres.
Information security of organizations paves the way for distributed security levels:
According to research analyses, half of mobile phone users in the United States (US) have smart phones. Smart phones have every tool that can be used for various hacking purposes. Laptops, tablets and smartphones have increasingly paved the way for build your own device (BYOD) phenomena which are increasingly eroding privacy of individuals and enterprises. Information superiority in organizations paves the way for disturbed security levels, in which smart phone users are increasingly getting the upper hand from security management that manages enterprise security. Due to superior level of security all across organizations, advent of mobile security is increasingly getting paranoid in detecting lapses due to the advent of always-on connectivity. Mobile enterprises are increasingly getting paranoid about the strength of security by adopting different level of sandboxing security and installing applications on sandbox security. Sandbox security runs as if it is running under Android user interface and it scans and detects for application vulnerabilities and viruses before it completely installs itself on the dashboard. Still, there is no way, third party applications can intrude into the mobile system as they are also installed in sandboxes environment. With the advent of all these classes of advance security system most of enterprise security systems are not able to go as equal in creating a level playing field for organization.
It creates a sense of information superiority due to the advent of sandboxing environment. In organization, it is very difficult to create one such alternative secure environment as there is huge technological development need to be done which has not surpassed the passage of excellent so far. It is always important to identify what needs to provide protection. According to survey, more than 40% of workers want to access data through mobile devices. There are many such reasons such as accessing speed of data base and portability are prime factors in determining huge use of corporate data to mobile devices. Many enterprise servers are now providing fast mobile access for networks and this makes huge use of enterprise servers in the mobile environment. Most of these mobile devices run with android and Apple mobile-operating system and researches have proven that all these devices are prone to malware attacks in most times. System administrators of enterprises can no way identify such BYOD devices and can stop or control advent of malwares from these devices into enterprise servers.
Why organizations are compelled to introduce restrictive policy guidelines:
IT (information technology) security professionals need to understand and check the scope of the environment they can control from within ambit of organizational security framework and then they can allow such devices to run within organizational perimeters. They should carefully observe the behavior of operating systems, applications, network use, files for threats and vulnerabilities. These are tools which give visibility to your organization through third party devices which have semi-administrator rights from within organizations given to employees. Many organizations are building their own customized application control systems which can only work within limited administrator rights and it can erase every session and data cookie in order to have complete control of logistic data. Many such applications are giving users to authenticate every time they log on to the administrative account and such applications runs as mini applications for the specified session when employees log into enterprise server from whatever application environment. Such enterprise specific applications are configured to run with specific environments which apply to specific security parameters attending to attribute to log into the server environment. In this way, most of application environments are controlled and come under direct security environments. With BYOD movement there is an abrupt increase of productivity, efficiency and connectivity for employees with customers but there are many downsides to it were within a drop of eyes most of the data within an enterprise server can be at risk of being of stolen completely. BYOD makes organizational framework smooth and functioning within an organizational framework becomes easier and this creates scope for more experimentation and innovative practices from within organizational premises. The fact is that the more easily organizational processes become the more difficult for information technology (IT) security professionals to secure entire organizational framework.
The fact is that the smart phone can do more than what a basic mobile phone is capable of, such as calling, internet browsing, installing applications, streaming of videos, downloading and so on. Most of these functions are established with the help of the Internet and various specific applications which accesses different private profiles embedded within smart phones. This makes specific vulnerabilities and can provide safe passage for attackers to use a smart phone as a tool to enter into enterprise security. Most of times due to policy restrictions of enterprises, most users are banned from certain websites which have possibilities of hacking scripts and prohibited from installing third party applications on their device without proper authentication from IT security professionals in organizations. Numerous organizations are promoting BYOD for their own conveniences, but in parallel they are forcibly applying policy restrictions on such devices. This raises questions over the concept of BYOD policies where it is estimated to create a spontaneous environment devoid any such restrictive policies. However, sadly due to extremely worsen security environments organizations are compelled to introduce such guidelines.
How benefits of organization vary with satisfaction index of internal staffs:
Bigger enterprises should learn from Google’s way of securing its databases which strictly based on server side coding irrespective of devices and platform it is connecting to. Recently, I have opportunity for conducting a complete research on BYOD with numerous organizations, who just wanted to know pros and cons of implementing BYOD within organization. My sample size is on the lower side and it is still in progress but the result is apparent. The organization which has unlimited and unrestricted BYOD for workers has more benefits in terms of productivity, connectivity and satisfaction of employees. On the other hand, those organizations that have implemented restrictive BYOD have performed worse than organizations without BYOD. This goes on showing how the benefits of organization vary with satisfaction indexes of internal staffs. With the advent of completely mobile computing, most of general purpose tasks of organizations are now completely depend upon devices of individual workers. What if at some point of time, such devices got stolen or broken due to complete negligence of individual or from sheer ignorance, then the company is about compensating the employee for the loss of prime device? As per research, many companies are not willing to pay back the price of mobility to workers. They have been giving the convenience of data packs and mobile talk time workers. But when these mobiles are either lost or stolen, in most cases, these costs go to have to bear by individuals. In this case, enterprises are ignoring the utter security lapse of loss of phone and if these phones recovered by attackers and rivals than the whole set up a network server will have critical security encroachments. There should be a proper policy for lost phone under BYOD in order to have proper remote control with these phone so that in the long run when the user lost the phones, companies can immediately erase data remotely so that person who have this phone will not be getting any information about company.
Beware of organizational data server:
What if, the worker has to contract list of his relatives, friends and families in a lost phone. Then, it is nothing to bargain it for slightly uncomfortable feelings. What if the workers are dealing with classified documents of the company and he is contracting clients who have requested enterprise to keep their name secret and all those in contracts present in the lost phone. This can pose serious encroachments to the privacy of individuals and the company can face many such legal challenges of revealing names of such clients which they are not supposed to do so. In this approach, naturally enterprises are responsible for any such miscarriage of privacy policy of organizations. For this, it is highly essential for enterprises to make a robust connectivity among different mobiles phones used for official purposes. There should be a compelling case for shared governmental power of mobiles. Enterprises should install some tracking software and can observe and investigate mobile device behavior of employees from a distance. When it seems the device is either lost or stolen, then, immediately information technology security experts of companies must intervene and delete data from inbuilt storage and from flash storage of stylish phones. Time to time system administrators must look and scan BYOD mobile devices, whether they are storing any such email attachments or documents related to companies within the premises of smart phone device storage. With an updated Gmail interface of Android, most of these attachments are now automatically stored with goggle drive application of the same account. In this approach, when the thieves got hold of phones and could not find any information there, and can easily log in to goggle drive application to download automatically scanned documents. It is important in order to use such email applications which do not have any such automatic downloading of attachment to cloud server characteristics. BYOD is a complex process, but it is a very simple tool for attackers to infringe into such devices and play havoc with the data management server of the company.
Sandboxing security environment:
What if the user has credit card detail in his mobile devices and most of data about its security in there and when it comes in hand of attackers then a whole set up of credit ransom in account of such organization could play havoc financially to individuals as well as to organization. The principal point of action is regardless of whatever information comes to your phone from the organization. You are required to protect this and all singular should be super conscious about keeping mobile device safe. Depending on recent survey, most of BYOD devices are from Apple or from Google. Owing to constant innovation and challenges, most of these devices are now tangled with android mobile operating systems. There are some security challenges which pose grave security introspection while using Android enabled devices. Most of the top enterprises are now opting for cloud hosting environment and want their employees to work within sandboxing environment just like Android powered devices. With the advent of android most of BYOD networking have been completely secured with its sandboxing environments. It makes every application to use shared memory and runs within sandboxing environment and it enables the user to have responsibility of allowing access to different application on different settings of android dashboard. Android gives immense power to users.
It opens up the system and wants the user to decide the fate of the device. Here, the role of information security experts in organizations comes to the forefront and they can take over administrative rights of android and create a shared environment which will run within the perimeter of sandboxing elements. Entire BYOD network will be secure and safe from prying eyes of the attackers. Android users have to know it clearly whether he has to approve or deny permission to specify applications. Most users do not read nor concern about such rights while installing applications. Some good mobile antivirus companies have developed installation dashboard and it is advisable for users to employ such dashboard while installation of applications so that the third party installer will check everything on that application before fully administrator control is being given to specific applications. On the other hand, with Windows Mobile from Microsoft and Apple’s mobile operating system the entire security structure is being carried out by respective mobile companies and they have made extreme convenience for users to focus more on mobile computing and less on managing security setting of devices.
Go for genuine cloud back up:
Beware of services that cost you money. There are some applications such as dialing or texting application which may be more convenient for you to use it but on the other hand it can automatically send text messages to anyone without the user’s knowledge. This can be fully automated with file attachments are sent to the remote server without user’s knowledge. It is wise to delete such application as they are completely missing administrative rights given to such applications. Storage applications such as Dropbox, Google drive will need ability to read write and delete information and before installation it will ask you for such permission. Most users without reading permits such applications for such administrative rights. These storage applications can directly synchronized multimedia contents to cloud services and perform multiple backups when data connection is switched on. The reason behind this it says that there is no uniqueness in this application. Samsung offers 50GB of Dropbox storage to Galaxy users and in addition to this it offers 35 GB of cloud storage through Samsung Link. Drop box automatically uploads pictures took the camera to dropbox account and then in reverse show those pictures by phone even if those pictures are deleted from device storage places. Similarly, Google is offering 25GB for Google drive, which is a cloud hosting for files and multimedia contents and it also works like Drop Box within smartphone
Beware of stalkers and hackers:
Employees’ personal information in BYOD (build your own device) set up stays at phone book and calendars. Phone book consists of detailed information of individuals and clients with their email, website and screenshots. When mobile is stolen or theft, then this information could lead to severe privacy breach of clients who have requested to keep their identity secret while dealing with enterprises. Similarly, calendar creates a set up of schedules and meetings to be held and completed and if these information reaches to the hand of immediate competitors of organizations, then it could spell and impact deeply over routine decision making policies of enterprises. When, enterprises though of creating a secure environment for its employees, one should always be clear that security does not always comes from outside, but most of times, carelessness from among different segment of employees makes the organization the most vulnerable and creates huge financial loss. There are some widgets and applications which could access phone book and calendar events and for this it is essential for an organization to remain vigilant and examine that other applications users have installed on the phone. Through these applications hackers can steal sensitive and vital information and this can spell to be most destructive for data security of an organization. If you have stored various appointments of yours inside phone and these appointment details have taken by hackers than they can sell these data to competitors of your enterprise and in return they will get handsome money.
Competitors will reach to your clients prior to you and then they will take back the projects which have been with your organizations. All these have very damaging effects on organizational security as well as on it can implicit deep financial damage to organizations. There are some phone widgets and applications which have ability to read phone identity and state. Some application uses strictly private revelation in order to implement two factor authorization processes. This third party authorization can lead to severe damage of privacy of data and this links to revelation of classified documents of organizations to broadcast. These widgets can detect when you are on the phone and what you are talking about and to whom you are talking and it can record the entire conversation and can send to attackers through GPS transmission or using your own data connectivity. If you have GPS navigation enabled on your phone, they probably will find out exact locations of yours and where you have been and the time of stay on that location. All these prove to be most hazardous and dangerous for security of people as well as data security of organizations. From this information, a criminal would know when to break up into your house and stalkers would know the habit of your web browsing and exact times when you are privileged enterprises. All these can prove costly to security of data and processing of information. If not, stalkers would like to send malwares through your device in order to make the entire enterprise server slow unusable.
Secure all hands free device gateways:
With the advent of modern internet and high speed broadband connectivity most of internet connections are now fast and for this Wi Fi and Bluetooth tethering are possible within different devices. There are many video applications which can run through bluetooth transfer of videos. With the development of Bluetooth technology, videos and audios can be transmitted from one device to further through implementation of hands free devices gateways. Beware of such applications and it is not advisable to install those on official mobile devices. These applications can automatically send big video presentations from your phone to stalkers while internet is switched on and in this way. Most vital strategies of enterprise are revealed before all. There are some web browsers which are offering compressions of data for free and this requires severe intrusion into privacy of individual in order to know the exact location and internet protocol (IP) address of individual so as to redirect those data to their server and then redirect to phone users. It is alright when default web browser of android such as Chrome from Google do this as Google has always been good at securing privacy of individuals but on the other hand we have seen how other browsers such as Opera which is offering off road mode to users in order to compress data can intrude privacy and stalkers can have the option of using these short of route to regenerate entire device memory and take back all those to his own server.
A simple mistake of compressing the Internet in order to reduce high data transfer charges can place users to severe critical intrusion of privacy which never ever thought before. That is why advocates of free networking facilities to users in order to create a congenial environment in the work atmosphere are always right but what about associated problems that come from either ignorance or deliberate ignorance of users in creating a damaging security situations of enterprise servers. Always take care and think twice before permitting the application to storages and personal information. If an application like to access storage and personal information then carefully read its privacy policy and double check the name and reputation of the vendor from a through Google check in order to find details of information about the application vendor. It is wise to go for Yahoo questions and Quora search which have a very dedicated group of volunteers to work day in and out in order to give you a perfect lead and experience about such vendors.
Conclusion:
There are many widgets and applications that can help you to send messages in an easier way than default message application of android or some other mobile operating system devices. It can read, write and send messages to a different server without your knowledge by automatically switching on internet connectivity and send these messages to a remote server of stalkers. Beware of such hidden practices as some messages can be from your boss and can be of some serious secret information about your enterprise. There are some applications which can switch on the torch light within android device easily. Users should understand these features are automatically there inside deep default gadget setting of android and for this it is essential for every user to first look for default applications which are safer to use and can be brilliantly managed by information security officials of enterprises. A social engineering widget has the ability to detect the location and critical information from user’s account which has the requisite permission for user account control. In this way, even if BYOD has the responsibility of the employee but the perimeter of damage could include organizational data server. It is high time organizations should go for a thorough and proper creation of security policies for such devices. There are plenty of other security breaches, but these are some which I find extremely critical to work it out.
In this article, there are examples of how security can be breached through the simple process of ignorance by employees and there are certain loopholes of security which needs to be patched through significant behavioral changes through proper implementation of stricter policy controls all around perimeters of organization. Ultimately, you are the user which performs serious sanity checks of allowing administrative privileges to applications and gadgets. In both cases of enterprise scenarios as well as individual scenario of using smart phones, protecting privacy is single most important factor which needs to be respected and all these are in the hands of individuals who should be looking seriously privacy policies of applications before granting them administrative rights to run. There are some screen savers for smart phones and high end devices which want access rights to storages, personal information and internet access. For a screen saver, all these access rights have no meaning at all except collecting anonymous data and sending back to originating server. All these trivial matters need to be examined by persons before granting access rights. Before installation, think about function of widgets, installation details, access request permission and Google it to get proper feedback from other users. Solid network policies are foundations of good cyber security. Follow these guidelines carefully and obeys its restrictions to enjoy complete security. In this approach mobile, networks work nicely for businesses.
