Maturity trends emerge from year-over-year mobile application security report analysis

Last year, 72% of organizations experienced a mobile application security incident.

Mobile apps have become the main way that many consumers interact with businesses in industries ranging from banking and healthcare to e-commerce and gaming. However, once an app is released, it lives in environments that organizations don't and can't control, and that attackers can manipulate. As a result, mobile app publishers must treat any and all transactions originating on mobile as untrusted.

In the past, many teams relied on OS-level protections, but, in 2026, 84% of developers acknowledge that, on their own, these protections aren't enough to sensure mobile apps are protected from attacks.

Now, 91% of developers prefer security that covers the entire SDLC, from early-stage development to post-deployment.
