Mobile DevSecOps as it's currently implemented has a big problem: it's too slow and inefficient to keep up with the constantly evolving threat landscape. In the typical way of doing things, common tools like pen testing and code scanning identify known vulnerabilities, and the mobile app is then booted back to the development team where they manually add whatever protection they can within the time they have ...
