One constant in the rapidly evolving mobile device market is user demand for access to corporate data. Whether corporate or employee-owned (the bring your own device or BYOD model), mobile device use creates new challenges for organizations that must safeguard sensitive data.
This course is designed to help students gain the skills necessary to implement a secure mobile device deployment. Students will examine the threats and vulnerabilities affecting mobile device deployments, understand legal issues and constraints facing organizations, and develop policies and controls to guide mobile device use. Focusing on Apple iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices, students will learn about the architectural strengths and weaknesses of each platform, identifying countermeasures and risk mitigation tactics to protect against common threats. Students learn to use a combination of policy, mobile device management (MDM) and network controls to defend against common threats including mobile device malware, stolen devices, wireless attacks and rooted or jailbroken devices. Throughout the course, a combination of lecture, hands-on lab exercises and real-world experience is used to guide students through a tested model for secure mobile device use.
