A study conducted by analyst firm Aite Group examined the protective capabilities of 30 different financial services applications downloaded from the Google Play store. The research revealed nearly all of the apps could be easily reverse engineered to expose personally identifiable information, account credentials, source code, API keys and access to back end systems.
In this talk, we’ll demonstrate how – using commonly available tools – the researcher was able to reverse engineer these financial applications, revealing a systemic lack of application appropriate protection. We’ll outline the key vulnerabilities the research uncovered and share how you can protect your organization’s apps to protect against data breaches and resulting brand damage and financial loss.
