How Nation-State Actors Play Cat & Mouse with Your Mobile Device

Using real-world cases to break down how modern mobile exploit chains work — and what detection and mitigation look like for enterprise security teams.

Nation-state attackers don't ignore mobile — they target it deliberately, exploiting the expanding attack surface of iOS and Android. This session uses real-world cases to break down how modern mobile exploit chains work and what happens on a device after compromise.

This session covers:

  • How nation-state attackers target mobile devices: the initial infection vectors and why they work
  • The anatomy of a modern mobile exploit chain, from first contact to post-compromise capability
  • How advanced mobile spyware operates after compromise — anti-analysis techniques and operational tradecraft
  • Practical steps for detecting and mitigating advanced attacks against managed mobile devices

What you'll take away: A more concrete understanding of the mobile threat landscape and the detection and mitigation approaches most relevant to enterprise security teams.
