The Mobile Blind Spot: Why 3 Layers of Mobile Security Isn’t Enough | Corrata’s 5-Layer Approach

How the mobile threat landscape has changed

Over the last number of years, the mobile threat landscape has changed significantly through the use of AI. Here in Corrata, we view the perfect protection for mobile devices as a five-layered approach.

Layer one: governance and policy

Firstly, we’re looking at governance and policy: the ability to be able to directly influence what users can and cannot do on a device across corporate and personal phones, and being able to implement corporate policy across a global fleet of phones.

Layer two: visibility and posture

We’re then looking at visibility and posture. Through Corrata’s on-device DPI (deep packet inspection), we’re able to assess up to ten different threat signals, giving you as the user the most comprehensive insight into possible threats being targeted towards your organisation.

Layer three: threat detection

We then look at threat detection capabilities, and it’s how we can efficiently detect threats on device in real time and stop them before they take hold of your business.

Layer four: data protection

We then move on to data protection, and it’s about how we can protect both your corporate data from all the different data leak vectors but also efficiently protect your employees’ privacy, through our on-device scanning with no need to route traffic to any external servers for analysis.

Layer five: responsive remediation

Finally, we’re moving on to responsive remediation. It’s how do we allow you to respond in the face of an attack? Through our quarantining feature, we instantly and automatically shut your device away from all corporate resources until your end user has gone in and remediated any security concerns directly on the device itself.

Five layers against an industry standard of three

This is the layered approach that we take. Five steps against the industry standard of three.
