These applications can only be installed via the official App Store and are run from a compartmentalized area of storage and processing.

How secure is Apple, and how does it compare to Android?Ĭompanies like Apple are an incredibly attractive target for attackers its technology and devices are ubiquitous across society.įrom navigating with maps to accessing our bank accounts, smart devices have become part of the fabric of our daily lives and hold swathes of personal data.Īpple’s security architecture is predicated on a so-called “walled garden” where the underlying operating system on the phone is completely inaccessible to any third-party applications. We have to accept that when it comes to hacking tools the genie is out of the bottle – and innovative attackers will always find a way in. If it gets into the wrong hands, it will be used nefariously and potentially against a broader group of targets. It can be sold and proliferate quickly globally. Once spyware is invented the cat is out of the bag. So while these attacks might not seem like an immediate threat to the average Apple user, once these tools are created they can spread like wildfire.įor example, criminal attackers could use the access to steal personal data for bigger campaigns – to defraud victims, or potentially even to instigate a mass user lockout to demand payment in a form of ransomware attack.

And as we see with the Red Teaming tool CobaltStrike, it’s only a matter of time before a cracked version is made available online. We live in a world where high profile individuals must accept that their name is on a target list somewhere.Īs a commercially available cyber espionage toolkit, NSO have lowered the technical bar for organizations to conduct cyber-attacks against their targets, providing high-end nation state capability to whoever can pay the bill. Who is being targeted?Įxploits like these are highly sophisticated and, unsurprisingly, individuals who have access to highly classified or confidential information - such as intelligence officers, politicians and reporters – are the key targets. Pegasus spyware can then turn on the device’s cameras and microphone, and can record texts, emails, and phone calls and share them with the NSO Group’s clients.

In this case, the exploit identified was “zero-click”, meaning a recipient of a malicious message would not even have to open the attachment for their device to be infected, and would allow the hackers to run their own code – including installing the spyware component of Pegasus.

Fundamentally, its users have access to a range of Apple and Android vulnerabilities that would allow them to exploit a range of native applications – often as simple as trying to open a file sent in an email or over text message, or clicking on a link that opens in Safari or another web browser. Pegasus uses a range of exploits to gain access to a device and these can be tailored to the target or attack campaign. Crucially, they need technology that can interrupt malicious activity autonomously, before data gets into the wrong hands. Erecting a ‘wall’ around the perimeter will not work against advanced attacks – defenders need technology that can identify when vulnerabilities – even those humans never knew existed – are being exploited. That’s why cyber security defenses must work on the assumption that the breach has already happened, rather than trying to stop the threat from getting in. In today’s threat landscape, human security teams cannot be expected to anticipate every single way their technology could be exploited. What about the unknown weaknesses which have not yet been spotted? Patching by itself is also an inadequate defense because it only deals with known vulnerabilities, and is always effectively one step behind.

It cannot interrupt an attack which has successfully begun moving within the system and exfiltrating sensitive data. What’s more, whilst patching addresses the vulnerability, it cannot mitigate a vulnerability that has already been exploited or a breach that has already happened.

As soon as defenders patch a vulnerability, a new one is identified.

Attackers are innovative and increasingly professional in their approach, coming at organizations from all angles and investing both time and money into finding new entry points. The complexity of the digital world is such that complete visibility is incredibly difficult to achieve – perhaps impossible for humans to do alone.

But today, patching is a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.
