Modern iOS Security: Attacks, Defenses & AI

Most iOS developers believe Apple handles security for them. That misconception leads to apps that are trivially exploitable.

This conversation covers:

• How small mistakes become major attack surfaces
• Why "Apple handles security" is dangerously wrong
• The attacker mindset when targeting mobile apps
• Why defensive culture matters more than any tool
• How AI accelerates and scales both attacks and defenses
• Runtime protection, reverse engineering defense, and secure data storage

Guests: Dave Poirier and Deya Elkhawaldeh — iOS security experts, authors of iOS Security Through Defensive Techniques, specializing in runtime protection and application hardening.

Also discussed: Jailbreaking in 2026, common security myths, and where AI fits into secure development workflows.
