Mobile app survey

February 2016 Information Security

Arxan commissioned an independent research organisation in November 2015 to undertake an electronic survey of 1083 individuals in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan. The target of the survey consisted of 815 consumers who use mobile health and mobile finance apps and 268 IT decision makers within organisations that produce mobile health and mobile finance apps and who also have oversight or insights into the security of those mobile apps.

In addition, in October and November 2015 an independent analysis of a total of 126 popular mobile health and mobile finance apps from each of the four countries was undertaken leveraging Mi3 solutions. Arxan selected the apps from among the most popular mobile health and finance apps for the Android and iOS platforms for each region.

The following infographic summarises the results of the survey. The report can be downloaded at https://www.arxan.com/resources/state-of-application-security/
