Summary
Mobile developers are, by definition, people that write code for mobile devices. While the job often requires attention to other parts of a mobile-enabled business process (e.g., developing mobile back ends or a full mobile stack), if the activity doesn't influence an end user experience, mobile developers are not generally passionate about it. In the prominent developer blogs, we find plenty of discussion about responsive design, "mobile first" design, and the mobile developer unicorns that can both design and code, but rarely anything about innovative mobile security. Security is one of many enterprise-grade development activities that fall outside of direct customer experience; quality assurance and analytics are others. Yet, ask any business stakeholder if they're OK relaxing their standards in these areas and they'll quickly tell you it's not an option. This report explores one angle of an age-old application development and delivery (AD&D) challenge: how to produce high-quality, secure applications when the developers are not passionate about meeting those same goals?
