SECURE YOUR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Mobile application pentesting is a critical process that examines and fortifies mobile applications against cyber threats by mimicking real-world hacking techniques to identify vulnerabilities and recommend mitigations. Testing the security of your mobile application is imperative in today’s technologically advanced age, where mobile apps are not only more prevalent, but also increasingly complex and integral to business operations. As applications become more customized, proprietary, and diverse, the security risks they face are inherently complex and varied. Our recognized expertise in this area has been instrumental in protecting numerous mission-critical mobile apps from complex business logic flaws and technical vulnerabilities that go far beyond a traditional network security assessment.


In a digital environment where threats are increasingly targeting mobile applications, compliance standards such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are becoming more stringent and often include mobile applications within their scope. Organizations are now faced with additional requirements to navigate and comply with. Our Mobile App Pentest Services not only help you strengthen your mobile applications, but also ensure that you successfully navigate and comply with complex requirements as efficiently and effectively as possible.

CHALLENGES IN SECURING MOBILE APPS

Why Should you Perform Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

  • Tackle Unique Mobile app Security Risks
    Mobile apps have design elements unique to their architecture. These can expose sensitive data and functionalities to manual hacking techniques. Mobile app penetration testing can identify and address these vulnerabilities.
  • Navigate Complex App Interactions
    Mobile applications frequently interact with multiple APIs and back-end services. This complexity often results in unique security challenges and vulnerabilities, which are best assessed through specialized testing.
  • Address Platform-Specific Risks
    iOS and Android platforms present their own sets of mobile app security challenges. Mobile app penetration testing can help in tailoring mitigation strategies specific to your chosen platform.
  • Safeguard User Privacy & Data Security
    One of the core objectives of mobile app security is to handle user data in a manner that’s both secure and compliant with regulations. Mobile App Penetration testing can assess how well your app meets these crucial requirements.
STRATEGIES FOR ROBUST MOBILE APP SECURITY

How Will Mobile Application Pen testing Help Secure My Apps?

  • Identify and Exploit Vulnerabilities
    We manually test your mobile app security to discover and exploit weaknesses, using hacker-like tactics to pave the way for real-world remediation strategies.
  • Validate Business Logic
    Our testing examines the app’s business logic to identify potential weak points that could be manipulated, guaranteeing the app functions as securely as intended.
  • Fortify API Communications
    We assess the security controls of your APIs to ensure robust, encrypted communication between the app and back-end servers.
  • Scrutinize Third-Party Components
    Our mobile app pen testing services also evaluate third-party libraries, SDKs, and APIs integrated into your app to make sure they don’t introduce new vulnerabilities and are securely implemented.
