Breaking the Trust Assumption: Defending Mobile Apps in Untrusted Environments

About this presentation

Mobile applications are now a primary interface for commerce, identity, and customer engagement, making them a growing attack surface. As attackers shift from network-based threats to client-side manipulation, many traditional security assumptions no longer apply.
This session explores how modern attacks target mobile applications through reverse engineering, tampering, cloning, and API abuse, and why securing mobile environments requires a move from implicit trust to continuous validation. It outlines a practical, defence-in-depth approach to protecting applications and backend services while maintaining performance and development efficiency.
