NowSecure, the leading standards-based mobile app security and privacy software company, today announced record results for calendar year 2021. Enabling organizations to deliver secure mobile apps faster, NowSecure empowers thousands of mobile app developers, security analysts and mobile DevSecOps pipelines with the industry’s only full suite of mobile app security testing software, training and pen testing solutions. Overall customers reported 30% improvement in release times and 30% reduction in security vulnerabilities. Across all facets of the business, NowSecure experienced tremendous growth in 2021 cementing its leadership position as the experts in mobile application security.

2021 saw more than 200 billion mobile apps downloaded with the Apple App Store and Google Play swell to some 6 million total apps including 1 million new or updated ones. Mobile apps dominated with 70% of all digital time spent in mobile apps vs. web apps. Organizations are mobilizing their employees and customers at an ever-increasing rate, with nearly all of the Fortune 1000 offering mobile apps in public app stores for customers and employees together generating over $170 billion in mobile revenue. In fact, research shows that mobile leaders in the F1000 grew market value 15% faster than mobile laggards.

But attacks and breaches also grew alarmingly in 2021 — Amazon Ring, Apple iMessage, Park Mobile, Slack and U.S. Customs and Border Protection all experienced major mobile app security incidents. The mobile app industry has a way to go to improve security as shown in the the NowSecure MobileRiskTracker™ —85% of tested apps have security vulnerabilities and 70% leak private data while software supply-chain attacks grew 650% in 2021, further compounding the challenges for mobile app teams. Mobile app vulnerabilities expose organizations to a myriad of brand risk, revenue loss, business disruption, shareholder loss, legal issues and compliance fines. These mobile marketplace risks and importance of apps to the business drove NowSecure growth to new heights in 2021.
