Risks

• Difficult to train and retain staff - very difficult to keep skills up-to-date

• Constantly changing environment

• New attacks constantly emerge

• Compliance Requirements

• Too many tools for various results


Threats at all points

Client• Insecure storage of

credentials• Improper use of

configuration files• Use of insecure

development libraries• Poor Cert Management

Server• Authentication• Session

Management• Cross-site Scripting• SQL Injection• Command Injection

Network• Insecure data transfer

during installation or execution of the application

• Insecure transmission of data across the network

Mobile application concerns

• Does the application function as the business intends?

• Are all features there and working?

• Will the application perform for all users?

• Does it meet SLAs in production?

Does it work? Does it perform?• Is the application securely

coded?• Has the application been

assessed for known threats?

Is it secure?
