Initial situation and project objective
Connext Communication supports institutions and organizations in the social and healthcare sector with innovative IT solutions. Vivendi, its in-house software suite, provides tools for the management of outpatient, inpatient and semi-residential nursing and care facilities. They are continuously being developed to meet new customer and market requirements.
Connext's 'Vivendi Mobil' is a comprehensive documentation solution for nursing staff that uses various smartphone services to make everyday nursing care easier. In particular, the mobile use of the Android-based app and access to confidential data such as medication plans and patient images place high demands on the security of the software. Complicating matters further is the fact that nursing staff use a variety of devices and different versions of Android. To meet these challenges, Connext wanted to explore innovative approaches to threat analysis to expose previously undiscovered vulnerabilities, if any, and take appropriate protective measures.
