Did you know mobile is now a preferred attack vector for hackers? It is perceived as a weak entry point into the corporate network. With millions of apps available on the iOS and Android platforms, it is incredibly challenging to keep on top of the apps your employees decide to use. We can help.
Today it takes more than profits and stock prices to keep banks, brokerage houses and insurance companies at the top of their game. In an online world where time is money, delays or unsecured access to financial services applications can cost not only in millions, but also in loss of customers and at worst, the business itself. The IT solution needed to provide staff, brokers, partners, and insurance agents with access to corporate, retail and mortgage banking, as well as insurance applications must be secure, reliable and drive overall business efficiencies.
Ericom realizes that escalating globalization, deregulation, and competition, place tremendous performance challenges on today’s financial service providers and IT organizations.
They must meet not only the challenges of rigid accountability standards for privacy and security, but also of globally dispersed offices and mobile workforces, within ever-increasing cost and time constraints.
Ericom Software enables IT departments across the financial services industry to address a wide range of complex IT issues:
Secure and On-demand Access for the Financial Services Industry

As football fever sweeps across Europe due to the 2016 UEFA European Championship, the SmartWire Labs Team at Wandera has been analyzing the mobile data traffic patterns across our network of enterprise customers in the European countries that make up this year’s tournament. By investigating the billions of daily data inputs that are scanned by our Secure Mobile Gateway, we’ve made some startling discoveries about data security and mobile phone usage in the lead up to and during the tournament (Research period 25 May to 24 June 2016).
MALICIOUS WEBSITES AND DATA LEAKS
With the tournament in full swing, users are becoming more active on their mobile devices, by exploring new content and being exposed to an increasing number of online ads. As a result of this spike in activity, SmartWire Labs discovered an increase in the number of malicious websites being accessed by smartphones. Worryingly, it seems that the host country has been actively targeted by hackers with 72% of malicious websites and 41% of exposed passwords being detected on smartphones in France.
During our research period, the number of data leaks observed by our research team increased. We predict this number will continue to rise as the tournament goes on as a result of more people travelling across Europe and using unfamiliar apps and websites to access match information. Our research suggests that data leaks will peak in late June towards the end of Euro 2016 before going back to normal levels in late July.
UEFA APP FOR FANS IS LEAKING DATA
One of the most startling discoveries by our researchers relates to the ‘UEFA EURO 2016 Fan Guide’ App. It’s one of the official UEFA mobile applications for Euro 2016, designed to provide practical tourist information for fans that are travelling to France for the tournament.
We have discovered that user credentials (including username, password, address and phone number) submitted to the online UEFA store website, are being transferred by both the iOS and Android versions of the app, over an insecure connection. The app itself has over 100,000 downloads on the google play store alone, and a very high rating. The implications of this are huge with potentially thousands of people having their personally identifiable information exposed and possibly stolen.
CONCLUSION
Overall, the increased data usage during the beginning of Euro 2016 will come as no surprise to anyone. The risks associated with this increase in traffic however have huge implications. With more people traveling across Europe, using unfamiliar websites and apps, as well as the shocking discovery that the official UEFA app is leaking data could all lead to serious security breaches with thousands of fans’ data being put at risk.
UEFA’S RESPONSE
Since SmartWire Labs exposed the treat UEFA have acknowledged the problem and fixed the issue. A UEFA spokesperson confirmed:
It is correct that there is an issue with the fan app, concerning a third party component in the myfanzone section, where the contact details of around 4,000 users (name, email and phone number) were not fully protected.
Within a few days UEFA made the following statement:
All security vulnerabilities have been solved. Data exchange between the mobile App and the server are now encrypted.

La tecnologia continua a stravolgere le nostre abitudini lavorative in maniera drastica, ma il cosiddetto “smart working” ruota ancora attorno a due elementi fondamentali: i contenuti e la collaborazione.
Anche se l’ufficio diventa mobile e l’ambito di lavoro diventa digitale, molti dipendenti non possiedono ancora strumenti abbastanza sicuri ed efficaci per accedere, condividere, creare e interagire con i contenuti in maniera rapida e da qualsiasi luogo.
Per contro, i dipendenti adottano spesso un’approccio “bring your own” quando si tratta di mobile content management: dal caricare dati riservati su cloud pubblici, al condividere informazioni altamente riservate tramite email o all’utilizzare sistemi gratuiti di file sharing per inviare documenti aziendali.
Un’esperienza d’uso intuitiva e gradevole è tanto importante quanto garantire la sicurezza, su una piattaforma di gestione dei contenuti mobili. Con questo concetto chiaro in mente, AirWatch ha completamente ridisegnato la soluzione AirWatch Content Locker per iPad e iPhone , offrendo un’esperienza di consumo semplice ed una security di alto livello.
La nuova e migliore esperienza d’uso di Content Locker coinvolge l’utente a partire dal lancio dell’applicazione.
Schermate per tutorial guidati e testi in sovrapposizione aiutano l’utente a prendere dimestichezza con l’interfaccia ridisegnata.
Dalla home page, gli utenti hanno ora un rapido accesso ai contenuti richiesti e proposti, nonché ai contenuti visualizzati più recentemente.
Il nuovo User Hub fornisce agli utenti un accesso rapido ai file condivisi e alle bozze, consentendo ai dipendenti di continuare a lavorare con semplicità sui documenti. AirWatch ha reso più facile la ricerca su tutti i file, indipendentemente dal repository su cui sono memorizzati, così come l’applicazione di filtri e l’ordinamento di questi risultati in base a criteri rilevanti.
Gli utenti possono inoltre navigare su cartelle e file grazie alle “briciole di pane cliccabili” e visualizzare facilmente l’anteprima dei file sul Content Locker. Nella nuova visualizzazione a scheda disponibile, gli utenti possono anche visualizzare l’anteprima dei video direttamente dalla home page, senza dover navigare sul file stesso.
Ogni aggiornamento strategico è stato progettato per migliorare l’esperienza d’uso degli utenti ed incrementare l’adozione della soluzione.
D’altronde, le aziende semplicemente non possono proteggere i dati e incrementare la collaborazione e la produttività se gli utenti non amano gli strumenti che vengono loro offerti.(tratto da un articolo di Alessandro Magarini)

La nuova distribuzione “over-the-air” mette nelle condizioni i clienti di AirWatch di inviare Wandera Mobile Security a migliaia di dispositivi in un istante.
Direttamente dalla console di AirWatch e’ possible distribuire il Wandera Secure Mobile Gateway a qualsiasi numero di dispositivi. Gli amministratori semplicemente scelgono i gruppi di dispositivi, che interessano, e Wandera fa il push silente “over the air” a tutti i dispositivi senza che i possessori subiscano alcuna interruzione del servizio.
Il Wandera Secure Mobile Gateway protegge i dispositive mobili aziendali con una prevenzione delle minacce in tempo reale e permette di gestire la conformita’ e la riduzione dei costi del traffico dati.
L’architettura multilivello di Wandera include il primo gateway cloud al mondo per mobile.
Wandera analizza miliardi di input giornalieri per prevenire attacchi sui dispositivi e proteggere i dati sensibili delle aziende.
L’app di integrazione con AirWatch sul dispositivo permette agli amministratori di identificare e bloccare le minacce come la perdita dei dati, malware e attacchi man-in-the-middle, in tempo reale.
