Individuals certified at this level will have demonstrated:
● Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
● Learn the security solutions on Android
● Learn to use various security features of the Android platform
● Get information about some recent vulnerabilities in Java on Android
● Get understanding on native code vulnerabilities on Android
● Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them
● Get practical knowledge in using security testing tools
● Get sources and further reading on secure coding practices

Target Audience:
Android application developers, architects and testers
