Topic: Taking A Look at Android Security

The aim of this talk is to give a broad overview on Android security issues. Before explaining the core Android security concepts that are in place to protect devices and their users from malicious attacks and exploits, our speaker, Dr Andreas Bauer, will first explain what the Android system is, where it comes from, and where it's going. The main focus of this talk however is to look at the current threats to the Android system, to look at what research has to say about them, and at practical means to protect Android devices from threats.
