Mobile developers examine how application architecture and threat modeling inform practical security controls. The course addresses server-side weaknesses, authentication, authorization, and sensitive-data handling across mobile apps and their supporting services. Learners consider security principles they can apply when designing, implementing, and reviewing mobile features.

Participants of this module will…

• Review the various types of mobile application architectures
• Understand the mobile application threat model
• Discuss the implications of weak server-side controls
• Highlight the risks of poor authentication and authorization
• Dive into the risks associated with managing sensitive data on mobile devices
• Fundamental security principles that help improve the security of mobile applications
