Think outside the server
Securing your server API is a common method to safeguard your Android application, however, it may not always be sufficient. In certain situations, you may need to have additional measures in place to protect the mobile app client beyond just server-side security.
In this presentation, we will explore a few of these scenarios and why they are so important to be aware of. In conclusion of this presentation, you will be able to identify, understand, and deal with the common client-side security challenges that you may encounter.
