Project: Government Mobile Apps Security Assessment & Strategy

For this research report you will research and then present your findings about cybersecurity issues specific to mobile applications. You will also provide a set of recommendations for best practices (your "strategy") for security architectures and designs formobile apps.

Mobile applications are important because they allow citizens and other stakeholders to access information and services through the federal government's digital government initiatives. For more information about requirements to provide mobile friendly websites and mobile apps see this blog posting from GSA.GOV

Research:

1. Review the Weekly readings.

2. Review recent changes in US Laws regarding the requirement for mobile friendly government websites.

3. Research the "best" of federal mobile apps to see examples of the type of apps that other agencies have created in the past.
a. 19 of the Coolest Government Mobile
b. 10 Most Entertaining Government Mobile Apps
c. The Best Government Mobile Apps for Business...and Your Office
d. 3 Innovative Ways Agencies are Leveraging Mobile Apps

4. Research the federal government's perspective on mobile app security architectures and design recommendations. Here are three sources to help you get started:
a. App Developers: Start with Security
b. Mobile Security Reference Architecture
c. How to build a secure mobile app: 10 tips

5. Research industry recommendations for mobile app security. Begin with the following sources:
a. OWASP Mobile Security
b. Top 10 Mobile Risks(click on tab)
c. Mobile app security: Always keep the back door

6. Find five or more best practice recommendations for ensuring the security of mobile apps. These recommendations must include security for the platform (mobile device), the data on the device, and the transmission path between the device and the mobile application server. Your focus should be upon recommendations that can be implemented as part of a strategy for reducing risk.
Write:

Write a five to sevenpage report in which you summarize your research and present your "best practices" based strategy for reducing risk and ensuring security for government provided mobile apps and their users. You should focus upon clarity and conciseness more than length when determining what content to include in your paper. At a minimum, your report must include the following:

1. An introduction or overview of mobile apps for digital government.Include 5 or more examples of mobile apps recognized as being innovative or "best of category" applications for delivering government information and services to mobile devices.This introduction should be suitable for an executive audience.

2. A separate section in which you discuss the federal government's requirements and recommendations for mobile app security architectures and the associated design recommendations. Write this section for non-technical managers; you will need to translate from tech-speak to manager-speak. Include at least three diagrams or pictures in this section and remember to include the appropriate in-text citations for the source (append to the figure caption).

3. A separate section in which you discuss industry's recommendations for security architectures and risk reduction for mobile app security. Write this section for non-technical managers; you will need to translate from tech-speak to manager-speak. Include at least three diagrams or pictures in this section and remember to include the appropriate in-text citations for the source (append to the figure caption).

4. A section in which you present 5 or morebest practice recommendations for building security (the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and non-repudiation for Mobile Applications) into mobile applications used to deliver government information and services. Present these strategies as recommendations for reducing risk.

5. A separate section in which you summarize your research and recommendations.
