Cloudatix launches Mobile App Security

Cloudatix has launched its unique platform for Mobile Application Security Vetting and revealed the development of sole Indian Standard for Mobile Application Security.

Sanjay Sharma, CEO, Cloudatix, highlighted the establishment of a security framework for the entire mobile application developer community as well as app owners (organizations), as the core aspect of this unique research initiative delivery. The research and development work is being carried out by K-Grid Knowledge Ventures, an associate company of Cloudatix, in collaboration with the Institute of Informatics & Communication, University of Delhi South Campus, under the Industry-Academia collaborative research initiative. “Under this collaboration, a unique mobile application security standard for India is under development,” said Dr Sanjeev Singh, Project Investigator of this project. With its focus on privacy and user data security, the Mobile Application Security Framework will provide an ecosystem enabling the developer community to build secure mobile applications, added Dr Singh.

Sanjay Sharma also emphasized on inculcating global best practices into the standard for it to support the ITeS exports from India. To cater to the diverse complexity of the mobile security frameworks across the globe and integrate the best practices into the Indian Standard, Cloudatix has tied up with Tanosecure (Taiwan) an executive member of Cloud Security Alliance.

“It is imperative to have a look at global initiatives on mobile application security, especially the ones carried out in the Asia-pacific owing to the similar mobile application penetration and usage patterns, while developing the Indian Standard. We indeed are very happy and excited to share our experience in Asia-Pacific with Cloudatix to help them in their unique endeavour,” added Keng Lee, COO, Tanosecure & Co-Chair, Mobile Working Group, CSA.
