Open source code is everywhere, and it needs to be managed to mitigate security risks. Developers are tasked with creating engaging and reliable applications faster than ever. To achieve this, they rely heavily on open source code to quickly add functionality to their proprietary software. With open source code making up an estimated 60-80% of proprietary applications’ code bases, managing it has become critical to reducing an organization’s security risk.
The world is increasingly embracing cloud technology. The fact that cloud requires minimal infrastructure and operational costs is attracting enterprises to shift to cloud. Remote and hybrid work modes following the pandemic has added to the continued rise of cloud.
The market for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, or apps, was valued at $186B in 2022, and expected to grow to $700B by 2030, a CAGR of 18%. As organizations adopt more SaaS apps for business-critical operations, they expose sensitive data across an ever larger and more diversified variety of egress points in the cloud. And as attackers tend to follow the data, they are targeting SaaS apps like never before.
Data security is crucial to creating mobile apps, and businesses that create or handle sensitive data must adhere to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Data is encrypted before it leaves the mobile device and is decoded in a safe environment thanks to the FIPS 140-2 encryption standard. In this article, we will take a look at the standards and best practices for FIPS 140-2 encryption compliance, covering the fundamentals of ensuring a safe mobile app.
Mobile app security is a critical aspect of any digital infrastructure. With our increasing need and reliance on smartphones as both communication and entertainment devices, mobile apps have become magnets for malicious actors. As such, companies like Google and Apple are implementing stringent measures to protect their app stores.
