Building a Mobile Security Program
Presented by John Dickson, Denim Group Principal
Starting at 11:00am, CDT
Are you looking to build a program to ensure maximum mobile security coverage?
If you are tasked with putting together a security testing program to address risk with internally developed mobile applications, there is no shortage of technical and process factors to consider. It is also critical to balance the security with a positive end-user experience, helping propel the overall brand forward - safely. Without proper mobile security, one significant loss can quickly destroy the trust foundation your company has worked years to craft.
This webinar will provide the security leader an overview of the challenges associated with mobile testing, certain technologies that one can use to identify mobile application vulnerabilities, and repeatable process strategies that will help build the foundation for a recurring testing program.
The session will provide attendees a broad understanding of mobile technologies, as well as a mobile testing launch checklist that will help your organization go from ground floor to a fully-functioning testing program in 30 days.
The session will also include:
- An overview of the major mobile technologies and their defining attributes
- An overview of how iOS and Android handle certain security issues differently via the Denim Group Mobile Development Reference Guide
- An overview of a typical mobile application architecture and how it differs from a web application environment
- How important web services are to a typical mobile architecture
- The limitations of automated testing and how to augment security reviews to overcome testing gaps
- How to make a program repeatable and economically feasible without disrupting the software development process
The 30-minute webinar will provide actionable information that you can put to work immediately to build a mobile security testing program.
