Mobile Applications became the cornerstone of this new model providing hackers with **a new landscape to play in**. This new attack surface is composed of known malwares representing the tip of the iceberg and unknown and advanced threats exploiting various lines of attack. Companies releasing mobile applications for their end-users, partners or employees are facing this new security challenge and are required to build bullet-proof mobile applications.This security approach triggers different control and protection phases across the Application lifecycle and refers to Mobile Application Security. [Mobile Application Security](https://blog.pradeo.com/technology-runtime-application-self-protection-rasp) is about delivering leakage free, vulnerability free, tamper proof, self-protecting mobile apps. **This guide shows the path to master mobile application security, from development to exploitation. It is organized as follow: ** - The Mobile Application Security Landscape - Development and Testing Phase  - Running Phase on End-users' devices   **Download the full Mobile Application Security Guide 2017**   ###### About The Author [More from this author](https://blog.pradeo.com/author/roxane-suau) ![](https://blog.pradeo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/roxane-suau.jpg?height=100&name=roxane-suau.jpg) ###### Roxane Suau #### Recommended articles [![Vibe Coding: when AI-generated code multiplies vulnerabilities](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(32)-1.png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/vibe-coding-when-ai-generated-code-multiplies-vulnerabilities) ###### [Vibe Coding: when AI-generated code multiplies vulnerabilities](https://blog.pradeo.com/vibe-coding-when-ai-generated-code-multiplies-vulnerabilities) \- June 18, 2026 [![Cyber Resilience Act: The first obligations take effect in September 2026](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(26)-1.png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/cyber-resilience-act-the-first-obligations-take-effect-in-september-2026) ###### [Cyber Resilience Act: The first obligations take effect in September 2026](https://blog.pradeo.com/cyber-resilience-act-the-first-obligations-take-effect-in-september-2026) \- May 7, 2026 [![What is Application Shielding?](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(6)-1.png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/what-is-application-shielding) ###### [What is Application Shielding?](https://blog.pradeo.com/what-is-application-shielding) \- March 5, 2026 ### Popular articles ### Stay up to date ### Recent articles ### Articles récents [Fence integrates Pradeo's technology to secure its clients' mobile fleets](https://blog.pradeo.com/fence-integrates-pradeos-technology-to-secure-its-clients-mobile-fleets-1) \- 20 September, 2017 [RedHook: the banking trojan that grants itself system-level access on Android](https://blog.pradeo.com/redhook-the-banking-trojan-that-grants-itself-system-level-access-on-android) \- 20 September, 2017 [What Google's latest report reveals about mobile threats](https://blog.pradeo.com/what-googles-latest-report-reveals-about-mobile-threats) \- 20 September, 2017 [Android: The 4th zero-day vulnerability patched in six months](https://blog.pradeo.com/android-the-4th-zero-day-vulnerability-patched-in-six-months-1) \- 20 September, 2017 [Vibe Coding: when AI-generated code multiplies vulnerabilities](https://blog.pradeo.com/vibe-coding-when-ai-generated-code-multiplies-vulnerabilities) \- 20 September, 2017 ### Topics - [Mobile Security (56)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/mobile-security) - [Mobile Application Security (46)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/mobile-application-security) - [Expertise (31)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/expertise) - [Security Alert (30)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/security-alert) - [Cybersecurity (29)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/cybersecurity) - [News (28)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/news) - [Partners (25)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/partners) - [Corporate (12)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/corporate) - [Events (4)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/events) - [Actualité (2)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/actualité) - [predictions (2)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/predictions) - [cyberattack (1)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/cyberattack) see all [![New Call-to-action](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2378615/ad3111b0-9454-41ff-91f4-9eee95b1f08f.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2378615/ad3111b0-9454-41ff-91f4-9eee95b1f08f) ### Get in touch with mobile security experts [Contact us](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/contact-us) [![](https://blog.pradeo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pradeo_logo_white_square.png?width=90&height=74&name=pradeo_logo_white_square.png)](https://pradeo.com) European leader in mobile security, Pradeo protects business mobile devices and applications.
