Do Androids Dream of Electric Fences?: Defending Android in the Enterprise

Presented at BSidesSF 2019, March 4, 2019, 4:50 p.m. (30 minutes)

In this talk, Brandon will cover Android enterprise security and how to use the features provided by the platform in your organization to protect your users. Unfortunately, Blade Runner was a few years off, and Androids aren't self-aware enough yet to protect themselves. Though Android itself has huge uptake in the enterprise, its management features are not as widely deployed, despite potentially providing a lot of enterprise security functionality. In this talk, you'll learn how Android devices are typically used by organizations, threats to Android in the enterprise, the latest Android enterprise management security features, how these compare to user requirements, how to maximize the use of these in your organization, and how Google itself uses these features to protect its users. Most importantly, you'll learn where to start—after all, we're not computers; we're physical.
