Intercede's MyTAM enables enhanced trust for
Android apps to protect against hackers and malware
Cloud-based service loads applications into the
cryptographically-secured Trusted Execution Environment, embedded
in the majority of leading Android smartphones
London, UK - Cybersecurity expert Intercede today announced the
launch of MyTAM, a service that enables organisations such as app
developers, service providers, banks and media streaming companies
to load apps into the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) built
into chipsets in a rapidly increasing proportion of Android
devices. The TEE protects applications and their associated content
from malware, man-in-the-browser and other forms of software-based
threats.
Apps loaded onto mobile devices may contain malware that can be
used to expose sensitive data. However, by installing trusted apps
directly into the TEE on Android devices, app providers can protect
the data accessed by their apps from whatever else may be present
on the handset.
MyTAM is a fully hosted cloud service that securely loads apps
into the TEE. This provides security for applications that need to
store personal data, enable financial transactions (including by
bitcoin) or protect valuable content. Developers, their customers
and valuable end user data all benefit from higher levels of
security and trust.
The Trustonic TEE is present on many leading Android devices,
including the latest Samsung and HTC handsets. Trustonic injects
cryptographic keys at the point of device manufacture, meaning that
approved applications can only execute in their own secured
silos.
Trustonic CEO Ben Cade commented: "Intercede provides Trustonic
partners with a simple, convenient way to deploy TEE enhanced
applications to enabled devices, adding valuable protection, while
also simplifying and improving the end user experience. Building
and maintaining trust in devices, and services running from them,
is vital to growing the digital economy. MyTAM takes care of
connecting trusted devices to services in need of trust."
MyTAM runs on Intercede's established market-leading security
platform, which is already used by some of the world's largest
enterprises and public sector organisations. It provides a scalable
and cost-effective solution for any size of deployment, from
enterprise apps with thousands of users to consumer apps with
millions.
Richard Parris, CEO of Intercede, said: "Intercede is delighted
to have partnered with Trustonic on this exciting initiative to
better secure the mobile ecosystem. With Android powering the
majority of the world's smart devices, it is imperative to ensure
that any mobile apps running on this open platform can be both
trusted and protected from attack by rogue agents. The Intercede
MyTAM service has early mover advantage and technical superiority
in satisfying this need. With the Trustonic TEE built into more
than 250 million devices, the addressable market for the Intercede
MyTAM service is large and growing. We look forward to announcing
our launch customers at Mobile World Congress next month."
