Smartphones are hard to hack: Myth or reality?

24,00 

Since the birth of the iPhone in 2007, the smartphone has become our mobile device of choice, allowing us to be more connected and productive than ever. With these extremely powerful mini computers in our pockets, containing private, confidential and sometimes sensitive data, it has evolved into an increasing target for hackers and government agencies alike from all over the globe. Hence, it is of importance to understand the major threat vectors as well as how to reduce the risks of our smartphone getting hacked. Through a mix of theory, real world examples and interactive discussions, you’ll discover how easy or difficult it can be to compromise a modern smartphone.

 

To help you take note digitally, you’ll receive a fill-able PDF workbook, that you can print if you prefer taking notes manually. To evaluate your knowledge and understanding, there will be three short quizzes throughout the training. This 1-day training will take place in-person between 09:00 and 16:00 (lunch break between 12:00 and 13:00).
