Before You Approve That App: Build a Vetting Process That Actually Works

Every app request looks simple until it becomes a security problem. Sensitive data leaks from a medical app. A facility access app has weak encryption. A vendor pushes back on your concerns, and you don’t have the evidence to defend your decision.

NowSecure recently tested 50,000 apps and found that 53% contain AI components most review processes never catch. The stakes are higher than ever for teams managing app approvals.

Rich Campbell, Information Security Lead at Frederick County Government, manages app vetting across departments serving over 280,000 residents. He built a repeatable process that his team can stand behind. Gather in-depth insights from Rich and NowSecure Cofounder Andrew Hoog on building a defensible mobile app vetting program.
