How well are Your Mobile Apps Vetted?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued a draft “vetting guide” to aid in testing mobile applications to find security vulnerabilities in them.

The guide focuses on the tests that should most be considered when vetting a mobile app, as allowable functionalities on an app may be role-based with some employees having full access to functions while others are limited. NIST is accepting industry comment on the guide through Sept 18, 2014.
