9. The Future

In this final chapter we take a look at some more sophisticated attacks on the Android platform. We also look at the Internet of Things (IoT) in the world of Android to see how that also might be vulnerable to attack and to get ideas about what we can do to stop these attacks. We look at outside influences, such as HIPAA and PCI compliance, that you’ll need to understand, because before too long they are going to impact the Android security landscape. And, finally, we look at what’s likely to come in the future from Google and other third-party companies to help you protect your apps.
