An Outreach Presentation to educate students on Mobile Device Security

1. MOBILE DEVICE SECURITY
CREATED AND PRESENTED BY LISA HERRERA

2. WHAT ARE MOBILE DEVICES?
• A mobile device is a handheld tablet or
other device that is made for portability,
and is therefore both compact and
lightweight. New data storage, processing
and display technologies have allowed
these small devices to do nearly anything
that had previously been traditionally done
with larger personal computers.

9. MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION
TYPES, HISTORY, AND FACTS
• 1G: First Generation Cellular Phones (1970s to 1990s)
Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS), Total Access
Communication Systems (TACS) and Nordic Mobile Telephone
(NMT).
• 2G: GSM, CDMA, GPRS Networks (1990s)- IMEI a 15 or 17 digit
code used to identify a mobile station to a GSM network
• 3G Networks- Phone speeds deliver up to 2 Mpbs, but only
under the best conditions and in stationary mode.
• High-Speed 4G LTE- Phone speeds deliver up to 20 Mpbs

10. VULNERABILITIES & THREATS
• What is the definition of a vulnerability?
-A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce
a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the
intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw,
attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the
flaw.
• What is a threat?
-A threat is a possible danger that might exploit a
vulnerability to breach security and therefore cause
possible harm

11. ACTIVITY 3: MOBILE SYSTEM
VULNERABILITIES
(3 MINS)
How many system vulnerabilities
can you list?

12. MOBILE SYSTEM VULNERABILITIES
• Mobile Networks
• Internet
• SMS/MMS
• USB
• Wireless Network
• Bluetooth
• HotSpots
• Tethering
• NFC
• Location (GPS)

13. THREATS
• Software threats:
-Downloading 3rd party Apps or Apps not in the App or Play
Store
-Downloading and opening files in email but an unknown sender
-Jailbreaking or Rooting mobile device
-Accessing unsecure HotSpots
-These are just a few examples of things that can pose a threat
to your mobile device. How? The apps, software, files, or
accesspoints can contain Malware, such as: viruses, worms,
adware, and spyware to name a few.

14. MALWARE
• Malware- is Malicious software that infects computer or mobile
systems and then performs some type of evil action, such as
stealing information, damaging data, and/or disrupting normal
use of the computer or mobile system.

15. ACTIVITY 4: MOBILE DEVICE

21. IN CONCLUSION
Protecting your mobile device is very
important and will safeguard your
personal information. There is so
much information regarding mobile
device security in which everything was
not fully covered. I have a few
handouts on Mobile Device Security,
