<br>Hope to see many of you there!<br><br>Abstract:<br>These
days we and members of the public use our Smartphones for so many
features other than traditional calling and texting. We trust them with
our calendars, contacts, automatic login to social media accounts,
photographs, e-mail accounts and, in some cases, login information.<br><br>With
the mobile market share of Android enable phones on the rise, 1.3
million phones being activated per day, it's open source base and the
extra features provided as a standard it has opened itself to many
threats many akin to threats on any other Linux device.<br><br>We will
look at the most fool proof way to secure your android phone and show
you various tools which can be installed on your very own android
handset and practices you can adopt to help mitigate some of these
threats. In addition to this we will look at what can be done to protect
your data if you lose your phone on a night out or even if ninjas steal
