Major Business Pain Points

  • CEOs see mobile for employees as their top mandate for upcoming technology innovation initiatives, making security a key competency for development.
  • Unsecure mobile applications can cause your employees to question the mobile applications’ integrity for handling sensitive data, limiting uptake.
  • Secure mobile development tends to be an afterthought, where vulnerabilities are tested for post-production rather than during the build process.
  • Developers lack the expertise, processes, and proper tools to effectively enhance applications for mobile security.
