Organizations are deploying mobile applications to run critical processes or deliver services through web, client or hybrid apps. As highly critical sectors, such as the financial industry, continue to innovate via the adoption of new mobile services, such as , peer-to-peer transactions or bill payment, the underlying consumer-facing or internal applications that reside in or communicate with mobile devices, now host tremendous value and functionality. The application layer for Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone, etc. mobile devices has become a clear target for hackers and is subject to both vulnerability-based attacks which exploit programming flaws as well as a new array of reverse-engineering and tampering attacks, such as malware, which compromise overall application integrity.
Mobile device security and application management measures need to be augmented by proven mobile app security strategies, including application hardening. Today-s global hackers can easily disarm the various layers of an organization-s mobile security framework, such as jailbreak detection or authentication logic, enabling the theft of sensitive user credentials to commit fraud and inflict damage resulting in financial losses or brand compromise. App integrity requirements to are paramount and require security at the binary level to defend against app hacking attacks and to enable organizations to deploy self-defending, tamper-proof mobile apps.
The webinar will address:
The current threat landscape, including exploitations, and mobile malware, app reverse engineering and tampering;
How to ensure use of secure mobile applications;
How to target mobile security defense to protect not just the device, but the data and apps.
Webinar attendees will learn:
Counter measures to thwart the top mobile application security threats;
How to separate fact from fiction concerning mobile malware and its threat to data and apps;
Why mobile device management and mobile application management require complementary security strategies to fully protect apps; and,
How to re-train organizational security teams to overcome the inherent challenges of managing, developing and securing mobile apps.
