Explore the art of incorporating security into Android app development. You will learn the pros and cons of Kotlin, JetBrains’ new open-source programming language which Google adopted for Android. Each course explores a major Android security category: you will work with many examples, directly seeing the impact of missing or poor security in the code. You will work with Android Studio and Kotlin online playgrounds to implement security in your code, testing the security mechanism for effectiveness and functionality. You will also learn where to conduct mobile app and Android-specific vulnerability research online to continue improving your craft.

Each course explores a major iOS security category. You will work with many examples, directly seeing the impact of missing or poor security in the code snippet. You will then apply what you have learned to improve the security of those apps. You will then test the app to ensure that the security risk has been mitigated.

You will identify the need for security in your software projects, eliminate vulnerabilities within software, use a Security by Design approach to design a secure architecture for your software, implement common protections to protect users and data, apply various testing methods to find and correct security defects in your software, and maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security. Finally, you will put concepts into practice with numerous hands-on activities examining files and code, using both developer and penetration tester techniques to discover and correct vulnerabilities.
