When I take a look in the mirror, I see the handsomest guy in the world. That's the way I perceive things and, it pains me to say it, I’m wrong. I’m not the handsomest, I just think I am. The same goes for mobile apps and security. You think your apps are safe, but the simple truth of the matter is that they aren’t.

Arxan Technologies, company that offers powerful application protection solutions, has recently released volume 5 of its annual State of Application Security report. It shows that while consumers believe their apps are safe, most of them are in fact not safe. A staggering 90% of health and finance apps Arxan put to the test had at least 2 critical security risks.

“Mobile apps are often used by organizations to help keep customers ‘sticky,’ yet in the rush to bring new apps to market, organizations tend to overlook critical security measures that are proving crucial to consumer loyalty,” said Patrick Kehoe, CMO of Arxan Technologies, in a press release.

“Our research in Arxan’s 2016 State of App Security Report demonstrates that mobile app security is an important element in customer retention. Baking in robust mobile app security is not only a smart technology investment to keep the bad guys out, but also a smart business investment to help organizations differentiate from the competition and to achieve customer loyalty based on trust,” Patrick Kehoe concluded.
