Methods and apparatuses for obtaining and delivering mobile terminal security information based on a cloud service

A mobile terminal for obtaining mobile terminal security information from a cloud network, the mobile terminal comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing processor executable instructions, wherein when being executed by the processor, the processor executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following method:

• transmitting, to the cloud network, mobile terminal update information corresponding to a change in the mobile terminal information, wherein the cloud network updates the mobile terminal information of the mobile terminal stored in the cloud network according to the mobile terminal update information;
• receiving security information sent by the cloud network, wherein the security information identifies an existing security risk on the mobile terminal based on a comparison of the mobile terminal information and latest security data stored on the cloud network, the security data referenced by the cloud network for reporting or describing software or a software behavior identified as posing a security threat;
• determining the existing security risk on the mobile terminal based on the security information;
• and
• implementing a security processing according to the existing security risk, the security processing including at least one of presenting a prompt identifying the security risk or eliminating the existing security risk from the mobile terminal.

A server, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing processor executable instructions, wherein when being executed by the processor, the processor executable instructions cause the processor to perform the following method:

• receiving mobile terminal update information from a mobile terminal;
• updating the mobile terminal information of the mobile terminal stored in a cloud according to the mobile terminal update information;
• monitoring whether security data corresponding to the mobile terminal is updated, the security data referenced when reporting or describing software or a software behavior identified as posing a security threat;
• determining, when the security data is updated, whether an existing security risk exists in the mobile terminal based on the mobile terminal information and a latest security data;
• generating, when the existing security risk is determined to exist in the mobile terminal, security information describing the existing security risk;
• and
• transmitting the security information to the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal implements a security processing according to the existing security risk, the security processing including at least one of presenting a prompt identifying the existing security risk or eliminating the existing security risk from the mobile terminal.
