Android application security, deeper than scanners.

Shantanu Ghumade, Security Consultant at SecureLayer7, walked teams through Android app security from architecture down to working exploits. This is the recording.

2.5 billion Android users across 190 countries is too large a market to opt out of, and too large a target surface to leave to scanners. The platform's component model, intent system, and storage primitives all hide vulnerability classes that static analysis routinely misses.

The session covers the Android security architecture, the vulnerability patterns that recur across enterprise apps, the prevention controls that hold up in practice, and the secure development habits that meaningfully reduce findings before pentest even starts.
