OWASP-M TOP 10

Summary

OWASP Mobile Security Project is a centralized resource intended to give developers and security teams the resources they need to build and maintain secure mobile applications. OWASP-M Top Ten classifies mobile security risks and provides developmental controls to reduce their impact or likelihood of exploitation. The last version reviewed is 2016.
