Secure Mobile Application Development

Security for Mobile Application Development Must Be Built In from the Start

Has your company investigated new opportunities using mobile applications?

What are the Top Ten Risks for mobile systems and applications?

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a not-for-profit charitable organization in the United States. Its status gives it the freedom to provide unbiased, practical, cost-effective information about application security. In January of 2013, the OWASP Foundation published the Mobile Top Ten Risks — risks every CIO, CSO, and CISO needs to know.

This list might make any person dealing with the introduction of mobile devices and applications into their network uneasy; however, a knowledgeable developer can protect your mobile apps by building solid security into them from the start. Our founder and CEO, Tim Smith, along with our specialized programmers have over 12 years of experience designing and developing mobile applications. In the world of mobile, that means we’ve been working in this arena from its inception. We understand and program for all the current mobile platforms; iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows. We stay abreast of the industry standards, such as the markup language HTML5 and the style sheet language CSS3. Even more importantly, we continuously anticipate the newest invasive strategies used by hackers so that as this list changes, and it will, we are ahead of those who would do your company harm.

Special requirements for mobile application development

While all application development requires knowledge of techniques and best practices, mobile applications require special attention when it comes to security. Mobile devices are inherently more vulnerable to loss, theft, and hacking attempts. Those opportunities for data theft make their security crucial. These devices have email, passwords, credit card information, pictures, GPS coordinates, plus websites visited. Mobile application developers should make sure the data, the network, and the systems they interact with are secure. They also must ensure secure access to add-ons like video, cameras, and location services (Global Positioning Services) are protected.

These are not insurmountable issues. You, along with hundreds of current and prior customers, can trust our knowledge and skills to make your mobile applications secure. We built the Enet 1 Group from the ground up with security in mind. We want to help you securely utilize the opportunities mobile applications can bring to your company.
