Title of the Talk: Hybrid AI Techniques for Threat Detection in Android and IoT Environments

Abstract:
This presentation explores how hybrid AI techniques can improve threat detection across Android and IoT environments by combining machine learning, behavioural analysis, rule-based detection, and anomaly monitoring. It highlights how intelligent security models can identify malware, suspicious network activity, unauthorised access, and runtime vulnerabilities in connected ecosystems. The session also discusses practical challenges such as privacy, explainability, limited device resources, and real-time detection at the mobile and edge level.
