Mobile Threat Report for U.S. Public Sector

In the above whitepaper you'll find key takeaways from last year back thru the pandemic, as we moved zero trust from a conceptual framework to something that both public and private sectors needed ‘yesterday’!

The WP details the migration from old perimeter-based ‘castle-and-moat’ security model that was finally starting to show its age, and covering the transition factors contributing factors and paradigm shift, some fundamental or institutional in nature, but also largely by such previous high-profile cases like the Colonial Pipeline REvil ransomware gang and SolarWinds breach attacks on US agencies—including parts of the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, the Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Admin, and the Treasury but also numerous Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and State, Local & Education (SLED) entities—that were the driving force in doing so.

Today, those attacks and their predecessors are simply the tip of the iceberg regarding malware and malicious actors’ Tactics, Techniques & Procedures (TTPs) and the diverse array of systems they are going after, which includes less thought of areas; things like Cloud, IoT, and ICS but also a steady dose of mobile-enabled efforts. As highlighted in the headlines in Figure 1, these bulletins and notices from companies, related to vulnerabilities and their associated threats to establish the Cyber Kill Chain (CKC), only continue to accelerate into 2023. These mobile-enabled Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) require advanced techniques to defend, deny, disrupt, and contain data exfiltration from the end-user’s device, the network, or the cloud.
