Analysis of information security threats when processing confidential data in mobile systems

Abstract

The analysis of mobile technologies used to improve the quality of management in the banking sector, service and public administration is carried out. Based on the analysis of vulnerabilities of mobile stations (smartphones, tablets, smart devices, various peripheral devices of smart phones, etc.), technologies for providing Internet access for mobile systems (used in cellular networks, wireless access), as well as mobile services of information systems. A classification of information security threats is proposed and an analysis of the possibilities for implementing these threats is carried out. The aim of the work is to develop an up-to-date model of security threats to mobile technologies and to study the completeness and consistency of currently used mobile system protection tools, such as a mobile device manager, mobile application manager, trusted mobile application store, mobile application security gateway, etc. The paper discusses the sources of threats, vulnerabilities of technologies of mobile systems, the channels of exposure to threats, objects of exposure and the resulting damage from the implementation of threats that are characteristic of mobile systems and have different applications of threat implementations and vectors. The analysis of the context of the use of mobile medicine and the impact on the processes of providing medical services is carried out.
