Application Security

According to csoonline.com, “Application security is the process of making apps more secure by finding, fixing, and enhancing the security of apps.” Most security is built-in during the development of an application, but it also encompasses the updates and patching that occurs when apps are updated.

Updates are critical to the security of your apps as hackers are increasingly targeting applications with their attacks. App sec is an integral part of an app’s success or failure. If an app is easily hackable and consistently breaks, consumers will not use it, causing loss of revenue. But if an application is secure, not fragile and functions appropriately, then it will get used and profits increase.
