Ten Secrets to Secure Mobile Applications

Presented at AppSec USA 2014, Sept. 19, 2014, 9:30 a.m. (45 minutes)

Many high profile mobile apps have been in the news for failures to use encryption, bad web service design, and privacy violations against users. Join us to get a grasp on how to threat model mobile applications and what the top vulnerabilities and solutions are for them. This talk will use the OWASP Mobile Top Ten as a framework and will introduce developers, testers, and management to techniques that will expedite the task of securing mobile applications.
