In an era when smartphones have evolved into essential professional tools, mobile app security isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a critical business concern. This is true for law firms, corporations and other organizations of any size. With millions of apps handling everything from personal banking to corporate data access, these digital gateways have become prime targets for cybercriminals.

Despite the ubiquity of mobile devices in all settings and the amount of sensitive data and access they contain, according to an analysis by AIMulitple, “25+ Application Security Statistics & Trends,” more than 75% of all the apps tested contained at least one security or privacy flaw. One compromised app can potentially expose sensitive personal information and corporate data or even provide a gateway to more significant network breaches. Mobile apps are a major attack vector, yet they go largely overlooked—especially as “bring your own device” policies blur the lines between personal and professional devices.
