Announcement

The creation of the nation's first public safety broadband network (FirstNet) will require the vetting of mobile apps to ensure they meet public safety's cyber security requirements. It will be beneficial for the public safety community to leverage the mobile application vetting services and infrastructures that already exist. The purpose of this document is to be an informal survey of existing mobile application vetting services and the features these services provide. It also relates these features for their applicability to the public safety domain. This document is intended to aid public safety organizations when selecting mobile application vetting services for use in analyzing mobile applications.
