Mobile Applications - What's Under the Hood?

A quantitative examination of the security posture of today's mobile application space

Presentation overview

OWASP’s recent release of the “Top 10 Mobile Risks” has spurred much discussion in enterprises regarding how they may begin to protect against mobile vulnerabilities and prepare for the next wave of threats on the horizon. At this point little has been done to clearly identify the risk of downloading applications from both official and unofficial application marketplaces. Join researchers from Praetorian and Veracode as they look under the hood of a huge selection of Android applications and provide a quantitative examination of the application security posture of today’s mobile application space.

Discussion will include:

  • List most common mobile security risks
  • Unintentional threats in the mobile landscape
  • Overly permissive and malicious mobile applications
  • Fake / malicious applications from application marketplaces
  • Insecure mobile applications / security vulnerabilities
