Most common mobile application vulnerabilities and their mitigations part 2

In a previous blog post, we talked about mobile applications, their significance, and the reasons why we use mobile applications so frequently. Because more people are using mobile applications, there is now a larger attack surface to break into the mobile application and take control of the phone. If a malicious user gains access to a legitimate user’s phone, the attacker can then attempt to access other critical mobile applications like banking, which will do a significant amount of damage. Therefore, it is absolutely vital to protect each application that is run on a mobile device.
