NowSecure, the recognized experts in mobile security and privacy, announced it has unified its portfolio of mobile app security products and services into the award-winning flagship NowSecure Platform 5. Now mobile development and security teams can optimize their mobile appdev lifecycle and mobile AppSec program performance, fine tune testing frequency, depth and coverage across their mobile app portfolios and drive efficiencies while consolidating investments.
The “IDC DevSecOps Adoption, Techniques and Tools Survey, 2023” identifies the top drivers for DevSecOps as catching security vulnerabilities earlier in the software lifecycle, improving security posture of apps and minimizing human error via security automation. However, IDC found the top three organizational challenges associated with DevSecOps adoption are lack of developer security knowledge, lack of collaboration across security and development teams, and budget constraints. In addition, the IDC survey reported that significantly more organizations experienced a security breach in 2022. Recent notable breaches listed in the NowSecure Mobile Breach Tracker include Chick-fil-A, Hyundai, Kurbo, TikTok and Twitter (X). To help developers, security and privacy teams address these challenges and improve performance, NowSecure Platform 5 provides a consolidated, collaborative, all-in-one platform for mobile app security and privacy.
“For most organizations, secure app development, security training, app security testing and pen testing have long been fragmented, frustrating and expensive,” said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. “Working with our customers and mobile community, we have joined together all the critical components of a successful mobile app security and privacy program into a single all-in-one solution. Now all organizations can get the unified visibility and efficiencies they need at scale.”
