Threat modeling, source code review, and risk analysis are all aspects of
mobile application security. To better safeguard mobile applications and devices against vulnerabilities, developers may examine areas such as a database, cache, or configuration files, as well as the underlying platform.
In some ways, mobile application security is a form of 'next-generation' approach built on personal computer security solutions. Mobile devices, like personal computers, run on operating systems. that have their own vulnerabilities and security issues. As mobile devices become ubiquitous, security experts are scrambling to catch up by developing mobile application security processes and solutions for the future.
