OWASP Mobile Security: Top 10 Risks for 2017
The OWASP Mobile Top 10 is a nice start for any developer or a security professional, but the road is still ahead and there is so much to do to destroy most of the possible doors that hackers can use to find out about app’s vulnerabilities. We look forward to the OWASP to continue their work, but let’s not stay on the sidelines!
Unicom Conference - Mobile Application Security
Mobile adoption is strategic in every industry today. Although it can be a great catalyst for growth, the security risks that come with it cannot be overlooked. Even though this fact is established, many companies are still not following some of the mobile application security best practices. The goal of this is to raise awareness about application security by identifying some of the most critical risks facing organizations during development. We will be covering from basic OWASP top 10 security issues to live demos on different use-case scenarios on how a hacker can hack your application, and how to prevent them.
Tips To Protect Your Mobile App from Hackers.pdf
Given this, it's imperative for companies to think about mobile app security for both themselves and their customers. To do this, you must collaborate with the best mobile app development company in Bangalore that is familiar with cybersecurity.
Top Practices You Need To Develop Secure Mobile Apps.
Developers prefer to store sensitive data in the device’s local memory to protect users’ data. However, it is best not to store sensitive data, as it could increase security risks. You have two options: keep the data in encrypted containers or key chains, but if you don’t have any other choice, it is best to do so. You can also reduce the log by using the auto-delete option, which deletes data automatically after a set time.
With the growing risk of malicious activity, mobile app security has become a top concern for developers. Users are less likely to trust unreliable apps. The above best practices will answer your concerns about creating a secure mobile application by the top mobile app development company in South Africa for your customers.

- 1. INFORMATION SECURITY THREATS AGAINST MOBILE PHONE SERVICES MUHAMMAD ANEES UL REHMAN MCS
- 2. Major Factors W Unencrypted Data 02 Third Party Apps 01 Poor Server Side Security 03 Poor App Security Testing 04 Unstructured Data Input Channel 05
- 3. Whether to cut costs or to save time, developers often opt for third-party frameworks when building their apps. Though there's nothing particularly wrong with using ready-made frameworks and codes, it is a risky move simply because hackers release several such frameworks to target unwitting developers. Third Party Apps
- 4. W Unencrypted Data Failing to use encryption algorithms to protect user data is a mistake many app developers have been punished for severally. Leaving sensitive user data in plain text format was a miscalculation that caused the Starbucks app to drop several pegs from its position as one of the top five highest grossing apps.
- 5. Poor Server Side Security Developers work hard to provide the best security for their mobile apps, often at the cost of server-side security. It isn't rare to see an app developer completely neglecting to secure the server-side while implementing strong security measures for the client-side of the app.
- 6. Poor App Security Testing When developing the custom app, the process of testing the app should be done even before a release plan is conceived. The testing phase of the app covers how usable and compatible it is, but most importantly, how secure it is.
- 7. W Unstructured Data Input Channel Applications are known to accept data from multiple sources even when said sources lack sufficient encryption. Attackers often use these unsecured input channels to gain access to cookies and environmental variables stored by the app.
