Easy and Cost-Effective Secure App Development

Every year, we see a considerable increase in the number and severity of cybersecurity incidents from which companies suffer major financial losses, harm to their reputation, and irreparable damage to their customers. In 2015 alone, cybercriminals raked in billions of dollars from data breaches, as well as account information for hundreds of millions of users meant to be sold on the black market and used for further fraudulent activities.

Hackers often search for and exploit vulnerabilities in software code in order to gain footholds into networks. They also move laterally to find the more critical and juicier targets and, in this regard, companies are making considerable mistakes, particularly in failing to ensure adequate security in their application development practices.

The rising trend of successful data breaches shows that, while hackers and malicious actors are becoming more and more sophisticated in their methods, developers are not keeping up in applying security tools and best practices. Unfortunately, many studios and firms continue to make the same security mistakes in app development the most common being giving too much focus to functionality and too little on security.
