With Android tablets and phones taking over the market share of the mobile landscape; companies are starting to develop enterprise applications for this. I work for a Home Health company, basically think of visiting nurses. We have a 75% mobile workforce and we migrated our primary platform to Android. Having the need to verify our vendor's claims, I decided to assess the app to make sure my company's information was safe. The application is designed for the mobile staff to sync their work back to the "cloud." What I found was truly alarming. I will walk through my process and discuss my findings and vendor notification process that occurred as a result of my research.
