What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

Since the birth of the iPhone in 2007, the smartphone has become our mobile device of choice, allowing us to be more connected and productive than ever.

With these extremely powerful mini-computers in our pockets, containing private, confidential, and sometimes sensitive data, it has evolved into an increasing target for hackers and governmental agencies alike from all over the globe. And with more than 3.5 billion devices in use, it's easy to understand why smartphone users are likely to be targeted.

Therefore, it is important to understand the major threat vectors as well as how to reduce the risks of our smartphones getting hacked.

At the end of this workshop, you will get:
  • A better appreciation about how vulnerable your smartphone really is
  • Awareness of how your smartphone could get compromised
  • Easy mitigations to quickly reduce the risk of your smartphone getting hacked
