Mobile Application Security: What Every Organization Needs to Know

Show notes

Mobile apps are now deeply connected platforms for identities, payments, sessions, APIs, healthcare, retail, gaming, and cloud services. In this special episode, Tom Eston talks with Joel Destefano, Senior Product Manager at Guardsquare, about the modern mobile app threat landscape and why organizations can’t treat mobile security as an afterthought.

Topics include runtime manipulation, API abuse, account takeover, fake apps, overlays, malware-assisted fraud, reverse engineering, iOS vs Android risk, AI-assisted attacks, and why backend-only security is not enough.
