DevSec Blog | Mobile Privacy blog series from Appdome

Welcome to the Mobile Privacy Blog Series

Mobile Privacy is an important tool that developers have to prevent data loss in mobile apps. Hackers don’t have to break into your mobile app sandbox or reverse engineer your app to steal data from your mobile business and users. Someone at the airport can look over your users’ shoulders. Hackers can also create malware that captures screenshots of your app or capture user keystrokes when people use your app. This is why having a data loss prevention (DLP) solution for Android and iOS apps is important.

This blog series provides the reader a rich perspective and insight on data loss prevention techniques in iOS and Android apps. Subscribe today to stay in the know on trends and news around mobile privacy.
