Customer challenges

Enterprises can’t create or enforce mobile policy nor comply with

regulatory requirements if they don’t know what risks the apps contain

• Explosion in apps and exponential growth in malware• Existing mobile security expertise scarce within the

Enterprise• No one knows which apps are safe • Legacy security technologies are not keeping up with

the changes in mobile• New apps being released faster than they can be

manually reviewed• Cost to determine if an individual app is safe is

prohibitively expensive and everyone has a different opinion of “safe”

Summary and best practicesDon’t distribute software within the Enterprise, without inspecting what

the software does!• All apps should be inspected, for malware and policy

compliance, prior to:• Distributing the apps into the Enterprise

• Adding VPN clients into the apps

• Appthority helps organizations answer:• Are third-party file sharing systems like DropBox used by the

app

• Does the app take the contact book off the device?

• Does the app location track users (with or without permission)?

• Is malware present?

• Does the app communicate with known sites that serve malware?
