Mobile Attacks Surface

The video tutorial covers mobile application security, focusing on five main categories: mobile device security, network security, web server security, database security, and application management procedures. It discusses risks such as data encryption, secure protocols, reverse engineering, and access management. The tutorial also highlights network threats, SSL/TLS usage, web server security measures, DDoS mitigation, database threats, and application management security, including remote wiping and enterprise app distribution.

What is a key consideration for mobile device security?

• Ensuring data is stored unencrypted

• Implementing reverse engineering protections

• Using open protocols for data transmission

• Allowing elevated access to all resources

Why is it important to use SSL and TLS in network security?

• To ensure data is stored unencrypted

• To increase data transmission speed

• To prevent session hijacking and DNS spoofing

• To allow open access to network resources

What is a critical aspect of web server security?

• Using outdated software versions

• Ignoring system security patches

• Allowing unrestricted access to databases

• Assigning roles and responsibilities

How can database threats be mitigated?

• By allowing all applications to access the database

• By sanitizing data before insertion

• By ignoring privilege account management

• By using outdated database software

What is a concern in application management security?

• Allowing anyone to deploy source code

• Preventing remote wiping of organizational data

• Ensuring apps are unsigned

• Distributing apps without management software
