Why Secure Mobile Application Development?
In an attempt to keep up with technological advancements and ever increasing business demands, mobile applications are produced very quickly. Security considerations take a back seat as it is sometimes considered to make applications less user friendly. The convenience of data access is so important in mobile applications that a concept such as asking for frequent password entries is not even entertained. Designing security in mobile applications is given a low priority as it is likely to lengthen initial project time and cost estimates. So, mobile applications become an easy target for attackers.
Moreover, the security risks and considerations are unique to mobile application development because of the nature of mobile users and mobile hardware. The small screen of mobile devices poses challenges in determining the right balance between the amount of information displayed and the ease of accessing data. Also, the lower processing power of mobile devices can restrict application designs to maximize device speed while maintaining efficient power usage. No employee would want their mobile device to be the point of entry for unwanted and probably malicious code entering the corporate network.
The cost of fixing software defects rises exponentially as the development lifecycle progresses. So, understanding the threats and potential vulnerabilities early in the design stage itself and picking appropriate design choices and coding practices to mitigate or avoid potential risks in the future becomes critical.
What is Secure Mobile Application Development Training?
Today’s mobile application development environment faces the increased need to comply with multiple regulations, protect data privacy, and safeguard sensitive information while maintaining operational integrity. Software that has not been developed using secure programming methods can jeopardize the project by increasing development costs due to rework and/or re-engineering to retrofit security aspects, thereby affecting time-to-market adversely.
Aujas’ Secure Mobile Application Development Training programs are designed to guide and train the developers to practice secure programming during mobile application development life cycle.
How is Secure Mobile Application Development Training Delivered?
This two day Secure Mobile Application Development Training program allows participants to opt for in-person training at customer locations globally or virtual training through the Aujas Virtual Lab.
