Understanding and preventing Android app attacks.

Shantanu Ghumade, Security Consultant at SecureLayer7, walked teams through how Android applications are attacked and what holds up under real testing. This is the recording.

Android reaches 2.5 billion users across 190 countries. That scale is the business case, and it's also the reason every Android app is a target: stolen credentials, remote code execution, and data exfiltration are routine outcomes when the basics are missed.

The session covers Android app fundamentals and component model, the pentesting setup SecureLayer7 uses on real engagements, the misconfigurations that show up across nearly every codebase, and a walk through deeper vulnerabilities that scanners miss.
