Securing enterprise systems data on smart devices

Abstract

In near future smart devices such as phones and tablets will be the main computing device in the business world. The mobility behavior of the smart device helps the business workers to easily access their client’s information and make the right decision at the required time. However, people use smart devices for personal and business usage, which affect their companies and organization’s enterprise systems. For instant, the information that smart device is able to produce could be valuable business data at certain time and could be valuable private data at another times such as camera photos. This overlap between the personal and business usage in smart devices leads the companies to pay attention to their enterprise systems data security and apply restrictions on the smart devices usage. However, the smart device users are not comfortable with losing control of their private data or having restrictions on their smart device. In this work, we will study the usage and security of the smart device with the enterprise system. We will classify the Enterprise mobile applications usage. We will study the possible threats to expose the smart device user’s data and applying a new screenshot attack as an example of these threats. Finally we will study the mobile virtualization technology and investigate its security.
