AdaptiveMobile - Trusted Network Protection

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.

Following an article in V3.co.uk last week, Gareth Maclachlan, COO & Founder of AdaptiveMobile discusses why mobile security is important, and why we can only expect the problem to become bigger.
