  2. 1. SECURE THE SOURCE CODE  - Always protect the app with encryption - Scan the source code for vulnerabilities - App code should be easy to update, rebuild   and portable between devices and OS. - Be aware of file size, running time,                 memory, data and battery when securing       the app.

  3. 2. PROTECT DATA, DENY               UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS  - Verify Application Programming Interface       (API) to prevent transfer of sensitive data        into wrong hands. - Create encrypted containers to store data       safely. - Data encryption and encrypted connections   through VPN is extra secure. 

  4. 3. IDENTIFY, AUTHENTICATE,       AUTHORIZE - API authentication and authorization add an   extra layer of security. - Ensure APIs used in your app allow access     only to the most important sections. - Use OAuth 2.0 for building strong security     connections. - Use OpenID Connect to verify app users. 

  5. 4. ACTIVATE GOOD MOBILE           ENCRYPTION POLICY - Use file-level encryption. - Align the app codes as passwords and data   are not directly saved in the device. - These sensitive data have to be stored,         make sure that they are encrypted.  

  6. 5. IMPLEMENT A STRONG API       SECURITY STRATEGY - Follow the security measures for a well-         built API security i.e. identifications,               authentication and authorization. - Ensuring API security is very important.

  7. 6. TEST, TEST, AND TEST               AGAIN - Never get tired of testing. - Test the data security problems and session   managements. - Penetration testing helps to solve the             weakness of system. - You can use emulators to test app                 performance.

  8. 7. ALERT USER Developers and testers can't always protect users. In that case, - Include sufficient pointers if any kind of         vulnerability detected.  - Warn the users to download only from           authorized sites. 

  9. 8. USE EXTRA PRECAUTION           WHEN USING BYOD Companies that allow bring your own device (BYOD) policy make sure: - Devices have online protection  - VPN system for more secure connection - Block transactions from rooted and jail           breaking devices.

  10. By following these 8 steps diligently, your mobile app can be secured in general. You can also get a professional tester to ensure your newly built app is secure. Content Prepared by: Software Testing & QA Company
