Mobile apps are a necessary component of today’s communications. To operate effectively in the mobile environment, organizations are being called on to visualize, integrate, and leverage disparate information sources to dramatically extend their performance, effciency, and reach. Users are eager to adopt these new tools anywhere, in the office and on the move. Mobile apps—whether built in-house or purchased from the outside—must be secure for both users and organizations.
Despite their ability to enhance productivity and business operation, mobile apps can introduce functional, performance, and security issues. Mobile malware is increasing at an alarming pace, and the methods by which insecure apps can affect other apps, mobile devices, and/or the underlying network infrastructure are becoming much more complex. An insecure app can lead to lost productivity, loss of data, legal liability, damage to brand credibility—and worse. In today’s world, mobile app vetting is an essential part of a holistic enterprise cybersecurity plan, and Booz Allen’s AppCritique capability can help you meet this need.
