Presentation Title

Presentation: Think Your Mobile App Is Secure? Think Again…

Presentation Overview

Secure coding is crucial when it comes to mobile applications. Unfortunately it seems that most applications are still exposing themselves to risks which can be mitigated by employing secure coding practices from the start.
Research by Checkmarx and AppSec-Labs reveals a troubling picture where applications expose an average of three or more critical application vulnerabilities.
During this session we will:
• Review the findings of the “State of Mobile Application Security” Report
• Understand the limitations of mobile application security solutions
• Discuss the risks introduced by hybrid application development
• Examine the importance of security at the code level
