This paper reports on a study that explores and addresses security challenges in the development of enterprise mobile applications (EMAs). Despite the growing prevalence of mobile applications, security considerations are often overlooked or insufficiently addressed in mobile application software development methodologies. This gap highlights the need to incorporate security training into software developer education. The study used a literature review of software development methodologies (SDMs) and security practices, complemented by case studies involving interviews with industry experts on EMA development processes. Using thematic and cross-case analyses, the study produced a framework designed to guide the integration of security measures into EMA development. Findings revealed a limited emphasis on security aspects in current mobile application development practices. Consequently, a partial framework is presented in this paper, detailing key security considerations and countermeasures specific to EMA development. This research contributes to the discipline by offering developers guidelines to enhance security in EMAs, emphasizing the importance of integrating these practices into developer training programs.
