Understanding Mobile Network Threats

Mobile devices connect to various networks throughout their daily use, from secure corporate WiFi to untrusted public hotspots. Each connection presents unique security challenges that must be addressed through robust network security implementations.

Common Network Attack Vectors:

Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks: Attackers intercept communications between app and server
SSL Stripping: Downgrading HTTPS connections to unencrypted HTTP
Certificate Spoofing: Using fraudulent certificates to impersonate legitimate servers
DNS Hijacking: Redirecting traffic to malicious servers
Session Hijacking: Stealing session tokens to impersonate users
API Abuse: Exploiting poorly secured API endpoints
