Nothing Is Secure: Bug Discovered In Blackphone's OS

Earlier this month, researchers at endpoint security firm SentinelOne discovered and mitigated a vulnerability in the Silent OS, the operating system for the encrypted smartphone known as the Blackphone, which is generally considered one of the most secure smartphones available today. The discovery reveals that no matter how secure a system is designed to be, it remains vulnerable to hacking.

Homeland Security Today reached out to Tim Strazzere, Director of Mobile Research at SentinelOne, to shed light on the details behind a zero-day vulnerability in of one of the most popular, private smartphones and what that means for the cybersecurity sphere.

Strazzere said SentinelOne is transforming security with a next-generation Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP). The company has developed a next-generation antivirus replacement platform that protects organizations against advanced threats initiated by nation states, terrorists, and organized crime.
