00:00:13.786 --> 00:00:15.226
My name is Mark Mitchell

2
00:00:15.226 --> 00:00:17.216
and I'm a cyber security researcher

3
00:00:17.216 --> 00:00:18.646
at the MITRE Corporation.

4
00:00:19.696 --> 00:00:20.896
Consider that right now,

5
00:00:21.046 --> 00:00:22.856
if you're using an Android based device,

6
00:00:23.156 --> 00:00:24.676
there's a good chance an attacker can

7
00:00:24.676 --> 00:00:25.716
compromise it just

8
00:00:25.716 --> 00:00:26.976
by sending a video to it.

9
00:00:27.336 --> 00:00:28.526
There are few, if any,

10
00:00:28.526 --> 00:00:29.896
protections against these types

11
00:00:29.896 --> 00:00:30.856
of attacks today.

12
00:00:31.506 --> 00:00:33.346
APE is a first of its kind,

13
00:00:33.346 --> 00:00:35.986
next generation intrusion prevention app

14
00:00:36.256 --> 00:00:37.696
that runs on your phone and exists

15
00:00:37.696 --> 00:00:38.936
in normal user space.

16
00:00:39.386 --> 00:00:41.456
APE analyzes all network traffic

17
00:00:41.456 --> 00:00:42.636
entering and leaving the device

18
00:00:42.636 --> 00:00:44.416
and provides three major benefits.

19
00:00:44.926 --> 00:00:46.476
One, APE is able

20
00:00:46.476 --> 00:00:48.766
to block exploits before they occur.

21
00:00:49.276 --> 00:00:50.556
Two, APE is able

22
00:00:50.556 --> 00:00:52.376
to deploy rules much more quickly,

23
00:00:52.376 --> 00:00:53.436
in hours or days,

24
00:00:53.436 --> 00:00:54.626
instead of weeks or months.

25
00:00:55.016 --> 00:00:56.726
And three, APE is able

26
00:00:56.726 --> 00:00:58.686
to block unneeded ports and protocols,

27
00:00:58.686 --> 00:01:00.666
thus lowering your device's profile

28
00:01:00.806 --> 00:01:02.506
and making it harder for attackers

29
00:01:02.506 --> 00:01:03.696
to discover your device.

30
00:01:04.416 --> 00:01:06.176
The competitive advantage of APE is

31
00:01:06.176 --> 00:01:08.746
that it exists in normal user space,

32
00:01:08.866 --> 00:01:10.686
so it doesn't circumvent built-in

33
00:01:10.686 --> 00:01:11.976
security protections.

34
00:01:12.576 --> 00:01:15.286
Also, it has no external dependencies

35
00:01:15.556 --> 00:01:16.206
and yet is able

36
00:01:16.206 --> 00:01:17.976
to perform deep packet inspection.

37
00:01:18.626 --> 00:01:20.186
All Android users are subject

38
00:01:20.186 --> 00:01:21.496
to network-based attacks.

39
00:01:21.686 --> 00:01:23.146
It came to light, at one point,

40
00:01:23.376 --> 00:01:25.906
that 800 million devices had shipped

41
00:01:25.906 --> 00:01:26.536
from the factory

42
00:01:26.536 --> 00:01:27.966
with malware pre-installed.

43
00:01:28.386 --> 00:01:29.596
APE could have pushed out a new rule

44
00:01:29.596 --> 00:01:31.696
within hours to shut this down.

45
00:01:33.426 --> 00:01:35.276
APE provides next generation network

46
00:01:35.276 --> 00:01:36.826
protection for your Android device.
