Digital Smarts - Mobile Apps Failing Basic Security Tests

You are here

Technology research firm Gartner has predicted that within the next year, 75% of all mobile apps will fail the most basic of security tests. Although the apps will still be functional, the hidden security risk of using an app that has access to your personal information, location, and other user specific data can become a potential issue. It is now than ever important to monitor the apps that you and your family download and the kind of personal information they require to run or store. Don’t know which ones have your personal info? Download an app like MyPermissions and find for sure.
