According to reports, a new variant of the aggressive mobile spyware known as Pegasus has infected the mobile devices of over 50,000 people in 50 nations. Pegasus and other spyware must be safeguarded from enterprise security experts’ mobile endpoints, and ultimately their entire organisation.
On Monday 22nd November 2021 Salt Communications will be hosting a webinar around the subject of Pegasus Spyware. In this webinar Joe Boyle, CEO at Salt Communications, will explain how hackers exploit Pegasus smartphone spyware and other weaknesses to go around your protection, obtain access to your systems, and steal data and voice information.
While the focus of the Pegasus Spyware narrative has been on the individuals whose phones have been hacked, the true story is about the organisational secrets that have been leaked as a result of innocent people bringing surveillance devices (their mobile phones) into classified conversations.
The most recent spyware versions send an unnoticed message to the phone, through popular consumer messaging systems. It enters without warning and grants itself permission to install spyware without the user’s awareness, implying that any employee, no matter how loyal or security conscientious, can be used to transport spyware into your most secret facilities and meeting rooms. This is why enterprises and public bodies should not dismiss the situation as “it couldn’t happen here”. It can happen to anybody, anywhere!
Join our on-demand webinar where our mobile security experts will give a breakdown around the history of Pegasus and its use as an espionage tool, give an understanding of how Pegasus operates and steals organisations data, as well as knowing how to detect and protect your enterprise mobile endpoints from spyware and Pegasus.
