NATIVE ACCESS SAFE CODE

Protecting resources: Stealing and understanding resources (HTML/JS) of a Hybrid app is a bit easier than stealing and understanding Native code (if obfuscation is applied!).

Here are some potential Hybrid vulnerabilities: Know what to look out for: Hybrid vulnerabilitiesĪll known web-attacks could potentially be exploited in a Hybrid mobile app. This means that the same security vulnerabilities that apply to Native can also be considered a vulnerability for Hybrid.

At development stage you can address the majority of security vulnerabilities known to affect Hybrid, if you know what to look for.Ī Hybrid app always has some Native code (for instance to start a Web container like a WebView). To develop Hybrid you use HTML, CSS and JavaScript, these are then wrapped in the Native application using a wrapper like Xamarin or Apache Cordova. Hybrid is typically chosen for app development as it is easier to develop than Native: it is a web application (or a web page) running in a web container that is managed by the Hybrid platform. Native is perceived to give better performance and can be chosen by some companies on the basis of that fact alone, even though it's not easy to build and maintain. In app development, building Native applications means building an app using the Native language of the platform: Objective-C on iOS, and Java on Android. This is because the hybrid container which is essentially a web browser can expose some of the features of the underlying platform. Hybrid: The wrapper gives it almost the same capabilities as Native, at a fraction of the cost.This is because everything can be coded into the infrastructure of the app, encrypted and obfuscated. Native: Gives the best customer experience, but this comes at a cost of both time and budget.Despite the amount of tools out there that boost code security, it is still a low priority for some development teams. What's more, a report that came out from NodeSource and Sqreen in 2017 stated that 60% of developers lack confidence in their app security ( source here). We could dedicate hours talking about how one measures up against the other in terms of development advantages, so if you're interested we found Y Media Labs and Checkmarx give a good comparative analysis of Native and Hybrid, but both cast very little light on security. With that, the security aspect comes last. While web-channels tend to have entire scrum teams dedicated to their development, mobile is often forgotten or skipped due to its complexity when push comes to shove. Mobile strategy is something of a mind-boggler for companies who don’t necessarily have one in place. Moving on, we show you what Hybrid security vulnerabilities to look out for. While some might sway towards Native as the more secure route, we put together a how-to list on keeping your Hybrid platform secure. We'll take a little look at what makes Hybrid stand out from Native in app development.

There are, however, more attack vectors to take into account when it comes to developing Hybrid. First-off, Hybrid apps are not necessarily any less secure than their Native counterparts. Are native apps more secure than hybrid apps? This one comes up a lot.
