The people who are thinking about being mobile app developers in the audience today. A great space to be in. Right? Okay. Mobile apps are an inescapable part of life. They handle everything. We live on our phones these days, and we do everything on them from financial services to health care, retail, of course, entertainment. And the thing is, your users are trusting your apps with their most sensitive personal data. That's that's why the bad guys are going after you. A recent survey showed seventy two percent of organizations experience a mobile application security incident last year. Ninety two percent of respondents reported rising threat levels over the last two years. They've seen it. You've probably seen it if you're a mobile app developer. Meanwhile, attackers who want your users' personal data are looking for and constantly finding new ways to attack your mobile app. Here's one way that's devastating. They take the app. Nowadays with AI, it's very easy. Use Ghidra and AI to reverse engineer it, repackage it. It's indistinguishable from the real thing, except they have modified it. They've put malware in it or, or spyware. Then they distribute the app, the modified app. They do phishing campaigns. Hey. We've got an update. Send out emails, sideloading. They go into third party stores. There's all sorts of ways to get to your customers who think they're downloading your app. Instead, they're downloading malware.
