AI Just Made Hacking Apps a Lot Easier
The app on your phone is talking to your backend.
Who's verifying it's still your app?
Attackers are targeting mobile apps, and here's why: apps are easy to take apart. The code can be reverse-engineered, and obfuscation is little more than security theater in the age of AI. Once inside, attackers look for keys and backend APIs — and on a jailbroken or tampered app, they can modify the code itself, including stripping out security components.
Join this live conversation with mobile app security expert Vishal Bhaskar, who will share his own experience finding real vulnerabilities in mobile apps — and discuss the merits of a zero-trust approach to app security.
