Precise device intelligence is an essential piece of the puzzle when it comes to preventative cybersecurity: CUJO AI identifies a device and can wall it off from the rest of the network if it starts acting out of character, as it is a sign that the device is compromised by malware or malicious actors. Device intelligence also solves other challenges for network service providers, as they can create reliable device inventories and use this aggregated data for major decisions in network management or daily service provision, including dynamic bandwidth allocation.
Mobile Device Security In the Spotlight
Zoltán Balázs, Head of Vulnerability Research Lab at CUJO AI
Android phones and tablets are highly fragmented, as there are in total 7,027(!) different Android device models in active use in our userbase. As for iOS, this number is 56. Even with advanced device intelligence, network service providers might struggle to investigate the security risks in their mobile device population, as things are quite complicated when it comes to patching Android devices and determining the EoL of 7,000+ device models.
