Are smartphones completely safe? It depends on your definition of "secure", especially when dealing with corporate environments.
Most Companies με πολιτικές “φέρτε τη δική σας συσκευή” (bring-your-own-device) εγκαθιστούν εφαρμογές ή agents στα smartphone των εργαζομένων για να βοηθήσουν στην ασφάλειά τους, αξιοποιώντας τις possibilities management systems built into operating systems such as Android and iOS.
Αυτά όμως μπορεί να μην είναι αρκετά, υποστηρίζει η Cloudflare, και λανσάρει νέες υπηρεσίες αυτή την εβδομάδα. Σήμερα, η εταιρεία ανακοίνωσε τις Zero Trust SIM και Zero Trust for Mobile Operators, δύο προϊόντα που στοχεύουν χρήστες smartphone, τις εταιρείες που διαθέτουν εταιρικά phones and providers who sell data services.
Let's start with Zero Trust SIM. The package is designed to secure all data circulating from a smartphone. Zero Trust SIM just launched on USA, will be available as an eSIM and deployable through existing mobile device management platforms on both iOS and Android devices.
Each eSIM will be locked to a specific device, mitigating the risk of SIM-swapping attacks, and can be used either in a standalone setup or in conjunction with Cloudflare's mobile agent, WARP.
Cloudflare CTO John Graham-Cumming says Zero Trust SIM can achieve what VPNs and other security services can't: cell-level protection.
A SIM card can act as another security factor and in combination with hardware keys make it almost impossible to impersonate an employee.
“SIM Zero Trust provides defense in depth. A layered VPN is one of those elements, but it doesn't eliminate the need to still have cellular connectivity on all your mobile devices today, and traditional “AnyConnect” VPNs do nothing to stop attackers from moving laterally once they're in. VPN," Graham-Cumming said.
Graham-Cumming said the Zero Trust SIM will allow Cloudflare to rewrite DNS requests by letting a device use the Cloudflare Gateway for DNS filtering.
