Millions of businesses worldwide trust Google Apps to run their organization's domain. The life-blood of these organizations is routinely stored in Google accounts and accessed with mobile devices.

During this presentation, Young will discuss how an adversary can parlay the compromise of a single Android device into a complete Google Apps domain takeover, provide insight into Googles Play Store Bouncer, and review Android malware analysis at the end-point. He will also identify best practices to minimize risk and discuss guidelines for recovering from a Google Apps security incident.
