Attack Surfaces in Mobile Device Management – SySS Expert on protector.de

Protector.de recently published a guest post by SySS Senior Security IT Consultant Michael Schmidt on the topic of Mobile Device Management (MDM).

There, he discusses the vulnerabilities present in MDM solutions and highlights just how broad the range of affected devices is: It is not just about the “iPhone in the executive suite,” but also the “barcode scanner in the warehouse.”

This issue therefore affects all industries, such as retail, hospitals, and logistics service providers, and according to the SySS expert, the following problem often arises across the board: “MDM policies exist on paper but are not consistently enforced technically.” He explains what measures need to be implemented when using either Android or iOS to protect against attacks.
