Mobile Applications Security: A Survey About Security Level and Awareness of Moroccan Users

Today, mobile applications are in widespread use and have become an essential part of their users’ daily lives. However, for users and developers alike, the security of mobile applications has become a significant concern. Security flaws in mobile applications can give cybercriminals access to users’ personal information, steal sensitive data, and compromise their privacy. Through the creation of a survey consisting of eleven questions, each based on a mobile security practice that users should follow, this study examines the different aspects of mobile application security, including security threats, common attacks, security techniques, and the level of security and awareness of good security practices among users in Moroccan society. The results obtained will then be collected, analyzed, and compared with other research work to deduce the gaps to which we must pay attention. Finally, a list of good security practices will be drawn up to be recommended to these users.
