Security Tales: Corporate Smartphone
Vladimir Bezmaly | 09.11.2020
Potapych didn't want to get out from under the blanket this morning. It was damp, cold and there was no sun. Nasty weather, and it was until spring. And then Ivanych came along with his problem. They were going to connect his smartphones to the corporate network. What to do about it? And smartphones running Android. And this is another problem, because the system is open source. In theory, this should help information security specialists, manufacturers of devices for this OS and service providers to develop and release fixes for identified software vulnerabilities in a timely manner. In fact, it's the opposite: in the BYOD (use of personal devices for work) environment, there are many devices with a variety of vulnerabilities, the fixes of which manufacturers do not pay enough attention to. Devices with outdated versions are used...


- Yeah, I'll sleep here with you. Hi, Ivanovich! You don't have an ounce of conscience. It's a day off after all!

- That's the point, it's a day off! There's time to chat. In short, will half an hour be enough for you to get up and wash up? And I owe you something for tea.

- I know your "for tea"... My head will hurt again in the morning.

- Oh, come on! What will a liter of cognac do for us two veterans? But we'll talk!

- You've convinced me. I'm waiting!

— I'm on my way.
- Potapych, hello! I have a problem.

- Yes, I understand. And, judging by everything, a big one.

— Why did you decide?

- Usually your problem is solved with a bottle of cognac, but you clearly have three ringing.

- Wow, you can already tell by sound.

- Of course! An old warrior is a wise warrior! Okay, enough chatter. Complain!

— I told you, we decided to include Android cambodia whatsapp data in the corporate network. And yet I couldn’t find any lifecycle policies for Android at Google. Neither users nor IT departments know when manufacturers will stop supporting their devices and software. Moreover, there is no OS update schedule, so no one knows whether a particular device will have an OS update, and if so, when.


Half an hour passed.
