The operational cybersecurity approach has multiple layers of awareness and protection spread across the computers, networks, computer codes, or information that one intends to keep it protected. In an organization, the people, processes, and technology modell must all complement one another to create an effective pre-analized defense from cyber attacks.
Offer remote unlock services of mobile user locks for a large amount of mobile phones and tablets running Android. The success of remote unlocks or lock bypass depends on the Android Operating System version, the device vendors and device models. Currently we are able to open screen locks of devices running Android up to the latest version.
Currently we are able to provide forensics on remotely open or bypass screen locks of all devices with Jailbrake, not depending on the IOS device model, the device state if disabled or not, or the iOS running on it. For devices without Jailbrake we can remotely open or bypass screen locks of devices which do not have the Secure Enclave implementation and running iOS up to version 7.x.
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from attacks originated from the cyber space. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, corrupting sensitive information, extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.
