Use high-level mobile Encryption Techniques

File-level encryption is the best level of encryption for mobile apps and also keep on updated with latest security algorithms. For example AES with 256-bit Encryption and SHA-256 for hashing. Always keep testing on data security problems, session managements and also before the app is going to live to perform manual penetration testing & threat modeling.

Emulators will help to check the performance of the app in any device or OS.

Integrate MDM/MAM in apps

Mobile Device Management(MDM) and Mobile App Management(MAM) support the organizations by reducing the app and device threats and also allows to create enterprise app stores for regulated distribution, wrapping employee apps within multiple security layers, remotely wipe app and device data, etc.

Secure API with strong strategy

It is a truth that not only one app is accessing and interacting with an API, so you should ensure the authentication and authorization of backend servers for more security. Both the transport mechanisms and API authentication will be different based on the platform you used, so verify APIs based on platforms.

Understand the limitations of the platforms

Before the coding of your mobile app, you should be aware of the security features and limitations of use case scenarios, encryption support, password support, and geo-location data support of different platforms.

Ensure the data security

SQLite Database Encryption Modules or file-level encryption Secure the data by using Sandbox. Through virtual private network Data encryption and encrypted connections will be more secured.

Be mindful about sensitive data

Reduce the risk levels by minimizing the storage of sensitive data on your device or server. If you have to store sensitive data use encrypted data containers or key chains.

Minimize permissions to prevent data leakage

Ensure the security of user data from hackers or malicious business vendors. Zero-trust security is the best security method, it assumes on a network nothing is secure. So the permissions will be granted only if it is needed.

Thorough QA and Security Check

Before the eventual deployment test your mobile app against randomly generated security scenarios and also utilize Hackathons, where hackers identifying security backdoors within an application.
