A burglary in digital infrastructure happens without any broken glass or smashed doors. Attackers can only be successful if superficially everything continues as before.

This year’s DeepSec security conference is therefore trying to sharpen the view on everyday life in the office and at the workplace.

DeepSec 2020 U21 Talk: Protecting Mobile Devices from Malware Attacks with a Python IDS – Kamila Babayeva, Sebastian Garcia

Sanna/ September 2, 2020/ Conference

[Editorial note: We are proud to publish the articles about the U21 presentation slot for young researchers. The U21 track is a tradition of DeepSec.

We still don’t have a good idea of what our phones are doing in the network. To be better protected, mobile devices need better detection solutions from our community. In this talk I will present the development of Slips, a Python-based, free software IDS using machine learning to detect attacks
