Reducing friction in the mobile app dev pipeline calls for scaling security to reduce risk while keeping pace with ever-increasing release frequency and volume.

Vulnerabilities arise from code flaws, encryption errors, unsecured data transmission or data exposure. Looking back at the top five mobile breaches that have occurred over the past year helps drive home the importance of mobile application security.
Mobility has revolutionized the way customers interact with brands and paved the way for mobile-first organizationes. However, mobile app security spending has not adapted to this shift to mitigate risk. A modest investment in automated mobile appsec testing today can save you from responding to a breach tomorrow.
