      About The Webinar

      Building secure mobile applications is rarely about throwing ineffective tools at the problem. Building secure applications is about operationalizing security and reassessing the standards for ‘secure’ applications. How do we enable development and security teams to successfully deliver secure applications without majorly disrupting their current workflow and significantly lowering the effort and time spent on using traditional tools? These challenges have kindled a new approach that leverages the familiarity of free-to-use open-source tools with the scalability for robust vulnerability assessment with holistic binary-based automated vulnerability assessment tools.

      In this webinar, you’ll 

      • Understand why open-source tools alone can’t fully protect your mobile app and where they fall short in
              defending against sophisticated digital fraud.
      • Discover the most common vulnerabilities that attackers exploit in mobile applications and how to identify
              them before they become entry points.
      • Explore cutting-edge strategies and tools to fortify your mobile app, combining open-source flexibility with
              enterprise-grade security solutions.
      • Learn how to integrate security seamlessly into your development process, turning DevOps into DevSecOps to
              safeguard your app at every stage.
