Abstract

With the evolution of technology, we are witnessing the development of mobile terminals that are getting closer to a personal computer in terms of features and applications. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of mobile device users, which also leads to an increase in the use of online shopping or finance management applications. Hence, mobile terminals become a target for cyber criminals. Starting from the analysis of the current situation in the world regarding cyber security technology and solutions, we aim to build an integrating software platform for mobile malware analysis. The aim of the research is to develop a software platform that integrates the malware analysis procedures for most of the existing mobile terminals. So, the main objective of this article is to analyze the quality of cyber-protective solutions for mobile devices. We present our experiments which may bring solutions for some of the major vulnerabilities like active development of mobile malware, and hacking. Moreover, in this article we discuss the issue of security on Android, making use of security platform like Kali which permits to use different kinds of security analysis programs.
