1) Hack the Stack: Android Platform Security & Bug Bounty
You’ve heard about scams, mobile malware, and threat actors—and the steps being taken to combat them. Beneath those headlines, the operating system and its vulnerabilities form the foundation of this ecosystem. This talk introduces the principles of Android platform security, from low-level fundamentals to user experience, and includes interesting bugs reported through the Android VRP.
Speakers Profile 🎙️️
Camillus plays a key role in the Android Vulnerability Reporting Program at Google, where he investigates security bugs that range from bug bounty submissions to reverse-engineered adversarial exploits. Based in Seattle, his past experience encompasses security engineering, software supply chain red-teaming, and appsec penetration testing.
2) Metrics That Mattered: Taking Calculated Risks at Gojek
Crystal walks us through the art of event tracking, why acting on the data matters more than just collecting data in your database, and how Gojek ran quick experiments across the data + growth team.
