Mobile Application Security
Description
Mobile phones are becoming an increasingly important tool as we interface with the world around us. The mobile applications we build are central to how our users live, communicate, work, and interact with those around them.
The personal nature of mobile applications makes securing them paramount. When developing for mobile, the considerations are very different from other environments, like the web. Even if the underlying systems are accessible in web and mobile forms, the way we develop the mobile apps, the data they access, and our users’ expectations are very different.
This course covers the why, what, and how of mobile application security. We’ll highlight how security must be considered by the entire development team, from decision-makers and managers to developers. You’ll gain a solid foundation to assist you in improving the security posture of your mobile applications and complying with relevant security requirements.
