A warm welcome to Appvisory as our new client!
When was the last time you did a diligent background check to see if a mobile app is safe to use for you and your work? Right, most of us enjoy the advantages of digital tools without thinking too much about potential risks.
In order to make companies and employees aware of the importance of a security concept for mobile applications on the service mobile phone or tablet, a lot of education is still needed. And we at Laika are rolling up our sleeves to tackle this issue. Together with our new client mediaTest digital we now publish the results of monthly tests of mobile applications by the App Risk Management solution APPVISORY. The results provide information about current possible security risks and data protection concerns. So far we have already jointly examined mobile fitness programs, dating apps and video conferencing and productivity software in detail.
"Although the topics of data security and data protection are rightly omnipresent, they are still used synonymously without differentiation. In principle, data protection guarantees every citizen protection against improper data processing, the right to informational self-determination and the protection of privacy. Data security must ensure that data of any kind is adequately protected against manipulation, loss and unauthorised access by third parties or other threats. Since the evaluation is difficult for the layman, it requires orientation by experts like us. In order to be able to inform even more people and companies than before about what belongs on the smartphone or tablet and what doesn't, we have enlisted the communicative support of Laika," explains Sebastian Wolters, founder and CEO of mediaTest digital.
And we are equally as delighted about the collaboration as much as we are to explain complicated technological issues in a way that a broad public understands them. This is something we take with immense pride at Laika. So keep your eyes peeled for some insightful tests results that will help you protect your smartphone or tablet!
