AdaptiveMobile - Trusted Network Protection

From connected cars to smart houses, the telecom industry is pushing ahead with Machine to Machine, but have we added everything we need?

With just a couple of weeks until Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 the excitement is building amongst the team at AdaptiveMobile. Not only is this the first year that mobile security is taking centre stage at MWC with the introduction of the Mobile Security Forum, but to further add to the excitement, AdaptiveMobile is proud to have made it to the shortlist for the 2012 Global Mobile Awards!

The recent media attention to malicious applications and AdaptiveMobile’s recent Global Security Insights for Mobile research highlighted some of the downsides associated with mobile applications, location-based services and mobile devices. However, whilst the blame often falls with the technology or service, Gareth Maclachlan, COO and Co-founder of AdaptiveMobile, argues it’s how they are used that poses the biggest threat.

For the first time ever mobile security is making the agenda at Mobile World Congress 2012 and AdaptiveMobile is proud to be a part of it.

When we talk about “secure channel” we mean a HTTPS or SSL/TLS connection that is primarily used for high value sites such as banks and ecommerce sites. This type of connection is certificate-based, which means not only is it a credible website, but any sensitive data provided will get safely to the intended location. This ensures users’ identities are safe from prying eyes, including the ISP, mobile operators or Government.
