Mobile App Development Company
Build a secure and private mobile
app experience
"Secure to the core" has
been the working model at IBM from the inherently secure
high-volume-transaction proprietary mainframe systems through to today's
value-added security placed on top of the open-source solutions that IBM has
embraced since the 1990's. Privacy is about more than just complying with the
law, though. IBM believes in getting ahead of privacy regulations because we
value the trust placed in us by our clients.
Both privacy and security are
concerns in today's mobile world as we carry around more personal information
in our devices than we often have in any one institution (including our home).
In this article, I'll review best
practices and tools, services, and frameworks that you should consider for your
mobile applications that access or process personal information.
DevSecOps IS DevOps
We all experience mobile app updates
regularly on our devices because apps are not static. Mobile app publishers are
adding new capabilities or fixing bugs on a regular basis to continuously
improve the "WOW" experience. This continued lifecycle of creating
code, releasing the app, and adapting to feedback is DevOps. And, DevOps is
typically done much faster than the traditional, large, heritage system
efforts.
As mobile developers, we have to
build the appropriate amount of security into any DevOps toolchain as early as
possible. Whether you call it DevOps or explicitly identify security by calling
it DevSecOps, the "appropriate amount of security" will largely
depend on the sensitivity of the data that your app uses.
I'll take you on a tour around the
DevOps lifecycle, specifically calling out areas to expand your security
capabilities in your mobile app.
