Sector

Public sector & defense

Administrations handle data whose compromise has consequences beyond the organization: civil registries, tax records, sensitive information. Their agents access it from mobile devices, on the move, over networks the organization does not control.

On top of this protection requirement comes a question of data control: where is security data processed, and which legislation applies to the vendor?

The context

Why this sector is targeted first

Administrations hold large volumes of personal data, and their unavailability paralyses an entire public service. Intelligence gathering and disruption make them prime targets.

Mobile is an espionage vector: a compromised smartphone can hand over location, communications and information system credentials, without crossing a firewall.

Cybersecurity regulations, such as NIS2 in Europe or their equivalents in other countries, extend their requirements to administrations. They notably require asset and incident management, with short notification deadlines, and make management bodies accountable.

The stakes

What threatens public organizations

Targeted espionage

Spyware installed through a legitimate-looking app or a rigged link, able to activate the microphone and camera and extract messaging and documents.

Personal and out-of-scope devices

Mobile agents, elected officials, partners: some access the organization's applications from devices it does not manage, outside central supervision.

Security data under foreign jurisdiction

A security tool whose data is processed by a vendor subject to extraterritorial legislation can expose the organization to access requests from foreign authorities.

The solution

Pradeo's answer for the public sector

Pradeo's mobile security solutions detect spyware, data-exfiltrating applications, rigged networks and vulnerable systems on agents' devices.

For personal devices, the Secure Private Store grants access to the organization's applications and data according to the device's security level, without managing the device: access granted to safe devices, denied to unsafe ones, with remediation advice for the user.

Used by the French Armed Forces

Since 2018, Milistore, powered by Pradeo, has let thousands of soldiers and officers access military applications and information from their personal smartphones.
