Android Security Essentials is the practice of designing, building, and testing Android applications and devices so they resist real-world attacks and protect user data. It covers the Android security model, the app sandbox and permissions, secure coding against the OWASP Mobile Top 10, safe data storage and key management, secure network communication, and the techniques attackers use to reverse engineer and tamper with apps. Teams learn Android security when their apps handle sensitive data, face app-store and regulatory requirements, or need to stand up to penetration testing. It is the difference between an app that simply works and one that holds up when someone tries to break it.
As mobile becomes the primary channel for banking, healthcare, retail, and enterprise services, this program helps your teams build and ship Android apps that protect sensitive data and resist attack. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Built around your goals, the program turns Android Security Essentials skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your mobile development, QA, and security teams.
By the end of the program, your team can apply the Android security model correctly, store data and keys safely, secure network traffic, and design apps that defend against tampering, reverse engineering, and common mobile vulnerabilities. The result is fewer security defects reaching production, smoother app-store and compliance reviews, and developers who can build secure Android apps without slowing down delivery.

Participants should have working experience with Android app development and be comfortable with Java or Kotlin and the Android SDK. A basic understanding of mobile app architecture and networking concepts such as HTTP and APIs is helpful. No prior security background is required, a solid grounding in building Android apps is enough to get the most from the Android Security Essentials training.
