This curriculum spans the equivalent depth and breadth of a multi-workshop security architecture engagement, addressing mobile-specific threats, controls, and governance across technical, operational, and compliance domains found in regulated enterprise environments.

Module 1: Mobile Threat Landscape and Risk Assessment

  • Conducting device-specific threat modeling for iOS and Android to identify attack vectors such as insecure inter-app communication or improper permission handling.
  • Evaluating the risk of corporate data exposure via personal devices in BYOD environments using quantitative risk scoring models.
  • Assessing the impact of zero-day exploits targeting mobile operating systems and determining patch response timelines.
  • Mapping regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) to mobile data handling practices across jurisdictions.
  • Integrating mobile threat intelligence feeds into existing SOCs to prioritize incident response workflows.
  • Documenting risk acceptance decisions for unsupported legacy mobile platforms still in operational use.

Module 2: Mobile Device Management and Enterprise Mobility Management

  • Selecting MDM solutions based on support for containerization, selective wipe, and cross-platform policy enforcement.
  • Configuring compliance policies that trigger automated remediation actions upon jailbreak or root detection.
  • Implementing role-based access to MDM console functions to prevent over-privileged administrative accounts.
  • Managing enrollment workflows for corporate-owned vs. employee-owned devices with differing consent disclosures.
  • Handling conflicts between user privacy expectations and enterprise monitoring capabilities on personal devices.
  • Integrating MDM with identity providers using SAML or OIDC for seamless authentication and provisioning.

Module 3: Secure Application Development and App Hardening

  • Enforcing code signing and integrity checks for in-house mobile applications across development, staging, and production environments.
  • Implementing certificate pinning to prevent MITM attacks in high-risk applications handling financial or health data.
  • Integrating static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) into CI/CD pipelines for mobile apps.
  • Configuring obfuscation and anti-tampering mechanisms in production builds without degrading app performance.
  • Validating third-party SDKs for security vulnerabilities and data leakage before integration into enterprise apps.
  • Establishing secure update mechanisms that prevent rollback to vulnerable app versions.

Module 4: Mobile Data Protection and Encryption

  • Enforcing full-disk and file-level encryption on mobile devices using platform-native capabilities (e.g., Android FBE, iOS Data Protection).
  • Designing key management architectures for mobile apps that avoid hardcoding secrets in source code or configuration files.
  • Implementing secure local storage for sensitive data using encrypted databases or secure enclaves (e.g., iOS Secure Enclave).
  • Defining data retention and auto-purge policies for cached content in mobile applications.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of remote wipe operations under poor connectivity or device power-off conditions.
  • Applying data loss prevention (DLP) policies to restrict copy-paste, screen capture, and file sharing between work and personal profiles.

Module 5: Network Security and Secure Communication

  • Configuring mobile devices to use corporate-managed VPNs with split tunneling policies based on application sensitivity.
  • Deploying private DNS and DoT/DoH configurations to prevent DNS spoofing and tracking on untrusted networks.
  • Validating TLS configurations in mobile apps against industry benchmarks (e.g., Mozilla SSL Config Generator).
  • Blocking connections to known malicious IP addresses and domains via mobile threat defense (MTD) solutions.
  • Implementing Wi-Fi security policies that prevent automatic connection to open or rogue access points.
  • Monitoring and logging outbound network traffic from mobile apps for anomalous data exfiltration patterns.

Module 6: Identity, Access, and Authentication Management

  • Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing corporate resources from mobile endpoints using push tokens or FIDO2.
  • Implementing adaptive authentication that adjusts access controls based on device posture, location, and network risk.
  • Managing lifecycle synchronization between mobile access tokens and user employment status in HR systems.
  • Configuring biometric authentication fallback mechanisms when sensors fail or are unavailable.
  • Securing OAuth 2.0 authorization flows in mobile apps to prevent token leakage via logs or insecure storage.
  • Auditing privileged access sessions initiated from mobile devices for compliance and forensic readiness.

Module 7: Incident Response and Forensic Readiness

  • Establishing mobile-specific incident playbooks for scenarios such as lost/stolen devices, app compromise, or data leakage.
  • Preserving forensic artifacts from mobile devices including logs, app data, and network traces under chain-of-custody protocols.
  • Deploying EDR-like monitoring on mobile platforms to detect suspicious behavior such as privilege escalation or anomalous API calls.
  • Coordinating with legal and HR teams when investigating potential policy violations on employee-owned devices.
  • Conducting post-incident reviews to update mobile security policies based on root cause analysis.
  • Validating backup and recovery procedures for mobile configurations and encrypted user data.

Module 8: Governance, Compliance, and Policy Enforcement

  • Drafting mobile acceptable use policies that define permitted applications, data handling, and prohibited activities.
  • Conducting periodic compliance audits of mobile configurations against internal standards and external regulations.
  • Managing exceptions to mobile security policies with documented risk assessments and executive approvals.
  • Integrating mobile security controls into broader enterprise risk management frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001).
  • Measuring effectiveness of mobile security controls using KPIs such as patch compliance rate and incident response time.
  • Coordinating cross-functional reviews of mobile security posture involving IT, legal, privacy, and business units.
