Description

Think the App Store’s built-in security is enough? Think again.

Welcome to Upwardly Mobile, the podcast that exposes the gaps in iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS security. Hosts Skye and George take you into the high-stakes world of mobile defense, revealing why standard protections from Apple, Google, and Samsung often leave your sensitive data exposed. Sponsored by Approov—the gold standard in mobile app attestation—we move beyond the basics to tackle weaponized AI threats and dynamic API attacks. From runtime attestation to navigating complex compliance regulations, we equip developers and security pros with the actionable strategies needed to thwart attackers. Don’t leave your app vulnerable.
