Mobile Security Fundamentals: Build Apps That Fight Back
Building secure mobile apps is no longer optional—it’s expected by users, businesses, and the ecosystem. This talk offers a practical, beginner-friendly introduction to mobile security for iOS developers who want to improve their apps without getting lost in theory.
We’ll cover essential tools for analyzing app behavior, including network proxies and IPA inspection, and explain how code signing and entitlements define trust boundaries. We’ll also explore secure data storage with Keychain and file encryption, followed by key networking protections like certificate pinning and device attestation.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the mobile threat landscape, see real-world pitfalls, and learn actionable techniques they can apply immediately. The goal is to help developers make informed, security-first decisions and build resilient apps by design.
