Securing Federal Mobility From The Full Spectrum of Risk

Government mobile users are being targeted by hackers who are seeking an avenue to attack back-end computer systems that contain the data of millions of Americans. Security operations centers now deal with a variety of cyber vectors including man-in-the-middle attacks, errant apps, adware, ransomware, and attempts to root mobile devices.

A recent study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security says threats to mobile devices range from those perpetrated by nation-states, organized crime, or hackers to loss or theft of mobile phones. Additionally, threats that target consumers — such as social engineering, ransomware, banking fraud, eavesdropping, identity theft, and theft of services or sensitive data — also impact Federal government users. 

This video webinar will discuss how agencies are safeguarding the nation against emerging threats in the cyber domain.
