In 2021, companies that have moved towards
digital transformation will require expert
guidance to develop a foolproof security strategy
that could meet-security compliance, prevent
attacks, and protect user data. App security is
essential so that enterprises can work on
developing and improving business with the
assurance that applications are secure from
potential danger. For building trust in
users-software companies needs to not only make
software more secure but more resilient as well.
Through 2022, mobile application security
failures will be the biggest mobile threat for
enterprises. Mobile Applications are the primary
source of communication between a company and
its clients and when they run on Any Mobile
Devices that means they are built to run on
hostile environments-under the control of
attackers. App Developers and Mobile Application
Development Companies need to address this issue
to assure a secured virtual environment to their
users. Application developers may not have the
control over the business data policies, but on
the App security, its the Application Developers
and Mobile Application Development Companies who
have to take concrete measures to ensure Mobile
application security.   Following are some of the
main ways Application Developers and Mobile
Application Development Companies create a Secure
Mobile Application

Threat Modeling Exercise
Threat Modeling Exercise is an exercise where the
software development company can gage the
potential/obvious threats rather than just follow
their checklist and create a secure code at the
beginning. These potential threats could
be Sensitive data loss Exposure of
infrastructure Fraud  Noncompliance

 Secure Code
Due to the vulnerable nature of mobile
application code, and its functionality to run
on any device makes it very easy for hackers to
reverse engineer the code and use it for their
benefit. Therefore, it becomes very important to
create a hard code with agile development
style-which is easy to patch and update on a time
to time basis.Code Obfuscation techniques
like-name obfuscation, control flow obfuscation
and arithmetic obfuscation makes it difficult for
humans to understand the code and it doesnt need
to undergo de-obfuscation at the time of
execution.   
Authorized API
It is always advisable to use centralised
authorization on the entire API while writing
code. If APIs are not authorized then it could be
a treat for hackers to access information from
caches to get authentication on the system.

Unwavering Multi Factor Authentication
Unwavering Multi Factor Authentication plays a
crucial role while developing a secure mobile
application. Adoption of digital transformation
in businesses sometimes hampers security
protocols through-careless cloud adoption
methods, rise of social media and the increased
amount of online data sharing-make the need for
strong authentication more important than ever.
This helps to avoid vulnerabilities in apps.
Therefore, developers must use multi factor
authentication with strong Passwords and OTP
protection methods.
Secured Libraries
While coding, at times the code needs to be taken
from third party libraries. Not all libraries are
safe and could act as a major source of data
theft. Codes taken from these open source
libraries should be checked thoroughly before
including them in the code.

 Adding Tamper Detection
Tamper detection is a technique by which
developers can ensure that a third party or
person has not recompiled and published the
application under their account name or store
without proper and prior consent. This helps
safeguard intellectual property. To protect
mobile app from hackers to inject bad code,
developers  can keep changing the log of code of
the application and design triggers that could
send alerts when somebody tries to invade.
Apply (POLP) Principle Of Least Privileges
This principle of least privileges is created to
secure programming access from being shared with
non concerned people. By limiting super-user and
administrator privileges developers can protect
the mobile app against common attacks, like
Privilege Escalation Attacks and help businesses
to grow in a secured environment.

Proper Session Management
Proper session management is important because it
provides developers extra precaution against data
theft. Therefore, it is crucial to use secure web
languages like (Java, C, Golang, Python, PHP)
that offer session management, which is
well-developed and security tested. Generally,
sessions on mobile are longer than desktop.
Ensure that the size of the session cookie is
sufficient. Short or predictable session cookies
make it easier for an attacker to predict,
highjack or perform attacks against the session.
High-security settings in session configuration
and facilities like remote wipe off are some good
practices that help protect data of lost
devices.   
 White-Box Cryptography
Attackers having physical access to the users
device is a likely scenario that can lead to huge
data theft. White box term refers to the set of
techniques used to hide and protect sensitive
application data such as keys and credentials
stored in an app on a device. Cryptography plays
an important role in securing the users data in
a mobile environment. iOS Keychain and Android
KeyStore ensure that users confidential
information is encrypted and is more difficult to
extract from the device.

Timely Testing and Regular Security Updates
It is quite possible that mobile app is exposed
to vulnerabilities at the development stage.
Regular updates bring in improved versions and
new features in the apps.  Repeated testing helps
developers find flaws and potential improvement
in the security aspect of the app. Securing
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has become
one of the top priorities and applications should
be protected using application testing methods
like static code analysis, dynamic code analysis
and vulnerability testing. There are different
types of testing tools available that developers
can use Functional Testing Usability
Testing Compatibility Testing Performance and
load testing Security Testing Installation
Testing Localization Testing Manual
Testing Automated Testing
