Mobile Application Security: Overview
The
business environment in modern times is hyper connected, with organizations
exploring ways to enhance their mobile connectivity, thereby enabling easy
access to critical information regarding the business from anywhere at any
time. This puts confidential data at risk and makes businesses vulnerable to
cyber theft.
Mobile
application security has thus emerged as a crucial field, providing in-depth
cover for mobile-based applications. The services provided include custom scans
and vulnerability checks through testing capabilities such as dynamic
application security testing (DAST), interactive application security testing
(IAST), and static application security testing (SAST). Mobile application
security is designed to help businesses identify critical threats and secure
important applications from potential threats.
This
involves studying the structure of mobile applications and examining the
methods in which they can exchange data in a cohesive manner. Mobile
application security also helps businesses locate the key patches in the
application that can be exploited by hackers for financial gains. The
functionalities offered by mobile application security therefore include source
code review, threat mitigation, behavioral analysis, vulnerability ratings, and
identification of vulnerability patterns.
Mobile
application security is designed as a holistic security approach that ensures
the confidentiality of data transferred among mobile networks, while ensuring
visibility among business processes.
The
report is compiled with the intent of reviewing the major vendors in the mobile
applications security solutions market. To this end, it outlines the key
strategies adopted by the vendors and analyzes their product offerings. The
vendor comparison included in the report is based on classification in terms of
two aspects: business strategy and product offerings.
Mobile Application Security Market: Vendor
Comparison
The
mobile application security market has a consolidated vendor landscape, with a
few prominent enterprises, such as VMware, Symantec, Avast Software, McAfee,
Trend Micro, AVG Technology, and Kaspersky, holding a majority share in the
market. In order to outline the share held by these companies individually, the
report categorizes them based on their revenue range. For instance, the first category
includes companies with revenues of less than US$ 500 Mn, the second covers
companies in the revenue range of between US$ 500 Mn and US$ 1.0 Bn, and so on.
The
major strategies adopted by these companies and the influence they have had on
the prevailing market trends are evaluated to provide an in-depth vendor
comparison report. The report studies and compares the performance exhibited by
these companies based on their financial overview, product portfolio, company
size, key strategies, recent developments, and development status.
IAST security is an effective application security solution will not rely on a single testing technology. Thanks for sharing
