Tapping Into Trouble: The Hidden Dangers of Mobile App Proliferation

#1720425: Tapping Into Trouble: The Hidden Dangers of Mobile App Proliferation - January 20

Description:	Mobile apps have become the backbone of daily life and a prime target. With apps now handling identity, payments, and critical customer journeys, a single compromise can cascade into fraud, data breaches, and loss of trust. Yet many teams still treat mobile security as “nice to have” or assume the app store and OS will keep them safe. This webinar looks at how attackers really analyze, reverse engineer, and abuse mobile apps running on devices you don’t own or control. You’ll see how weaknesses in client-side logic, SDKs, and on-device data are weaponized to bypass monetization, loyalty and KYC flows, and even access financial accounts and PII and what a modern, layered defense looks like in practice. In this session, we will unpack: Why mobile apps are now critical infrastructure and why web-era security thinking falls short How threat actors use static/dynamic analysis, repackaging, and malware to exploit your app Common myths about “built-in” platform security that leave teams exposed Practical defenses, from obfuscation and RASP to device binding, attestation, and threat monitoring How leading organizations turn device intelligence into smarter backend decisions and fraud prevention Join us to uncover the true risks hidden inside today’s mobile ecosystem and learn what it takes to build, protect, and operate apps that can stand up to modern attackers.
