Upcoming Events

Thu Oct 9, 2014 - Securing Android: Tips from a First-Time Builder and OWASP Put to the Test

Presented by Zac Fowler, UNO's College of Information Science and Technology

As a web developer, jumping over to building for mobile platforms like Android and iOS is a very attractive option. The worlds aren't all that far apart form each other. You may have tried it yourself. What are the security implications that you should think about, jumping over from a web-based world to a native platform for the first time? Join Zac Fowler as he walks through his experience building an Android app, then applies the OWASP Mobile Top Ten and feedback from experienced Breakers to the project. Zac will go over common app use cases such as local storage and API communication, pitfalls he found, as well as remediations for first-timers. To close, he will share how the steps he used can be applied to (almost) any project, and how OWASP plays a role in incrementally improving the way you approach security.

Zac Fowler is a developer and project manager at UNO's College of Information Science and Technology, in charge of a student development group known as the IS&T Attic. He as been programming for the web since the late 90s and loves learning new technologies. Zac currently serves as a co-leader of the OWASP Omaha chapter.
