Mobile App Security

Definitions

1. The protection of mobile applications against reverse engineering, insecure storage, weak authentication, API abuse, malicious tampering, and unsafe platform interactions. Mobile app security spans both the app code and the backend services and device features it depends on.

   In plain English: Security for mobile applications and the services they rely on.

   Example: "The mobile app security review found hardcoded API secrets and poor certificate validation in the iOS build."
