Hybrid Apps - From Security Challenges to Secure Development
Cross-platform frameworks, such as Apache Cordova, are becoming increasingly popular. They promote the development of hybrid apps that combine native, i.e., system specific, code and system independent code, e.g., HTML5/JavaScript. Combining native with platform independent code opens Pandora’s box: all the security risks for native development are multiplied with the security risk of web applications.
As part of the Mobile / BYOD Security Track of the BrightTalks’ Identity, Data Protection and Securing the Modern Business Summit, we will give a webinar explaining the risk of hybrid apps and how to avoid them by applying secure software development best practices.
The recording of the webinar will be available online.
