Real-world examples
Ivanti Neurons for MTD protects against device-, network-, application-level and phishing attacks.
Device exploitation
Utilizing multiple infection vectors include clicked links, vulnerable apps, and messaging, attackers were able to infect mobile devices through zero-day exploits, in some cases with no interaction from the end-user. Once the device was infected, attackers had full visibility into the device communications and usage including contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings and even allowed the attackers to run arbitrary code.
Network attacks
At a coffee shop near their office, a Wi-Fi man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack against a company redirected users to a spear phishing page where corporate data was stolen.
Malicious apps
Unsuspecting users installed an app from a third-party app store. The app abused permissions, executed a device exploit, leaked data and was used as a weapon to penetrate internal networks via lateral movement in search for more sensitive data.
Leaky apps
Apps installed from official app stores may take advantage of granted permissions to siphon user data off the device unbeknownst to the user, including accessing photos, contacts, messaging and web history.
Phishing attacks
Leveraging social engineering, a bad actor tricked an unsuspecting user into clicking on a link and providing their corporate login credentials. The attacker was then able to log in as the user and access corporate resources.
