Mobile app security can present unique challenges compared to other types of application infrastructure. Mobile app development teams tend to be smaller teams, often with a loose coupling to the other aspects of application infrastructure in an organization. Mobile apps are also unique because a significant amount of the application logic and behavior is running locally on the end-user device, which can easily be manipulated or controlled by an attacker; this untrusted computing environment breaks some of the traditional security assumptions.
