Why Organizations Invest in Mobile Application Testing Services

Identify Mobile Risk Gaps

Mobile applications consist of native Java, API interfaces, as well as cloud connections that result at times in unknown areas that internal teams can’t see. Risk management on mobile applications includes pinpointing insecure data leaks, weak authentication, data store boundaries, and reverse engineering principles. Above all, executive reporting allows you to mitigate risk in a proactive instead of a reactive manner.

Improve and Maintain Compliance

Having certified documents combined with full proof compliance is a requisite for any corporation that intends on borderless operations. This is particularly true for frameworks like PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and CCPA, as well as any mobile application penetrated. During compliance, your company is both secure and borderless, certified, and unrestricted trusted.

Protect Customer Trust and Brand Value.

The monetary value of a data breach spans from guesswork and innovation to the vaporization of an organization. This is exactly what happens if you think of it in pandemic conditions. To prevent data breaches as well as mobile privacy violations, our mobile application security assessment audits are created to enhance and simplify customer operations.

Guard Against API and Third-Party Ecosystem Abuse

API abuse is one of the most common security threats to mobile experiences today. While we cannot eliminate the risks, we can help ensure proper mobile API security by testing authentication mechanisms, cryptographic protocols, and backends, so there are no gaps. You are provided with Assurance integrations, and partner SDKs are tamper-proof.

Reduction of Operational Interruption

Lack of data security, improper mobile applications can lead to breaches, which are one of the most expensive. Our mobile application vulnerability scans highlight potential avenues for exploitation that could jeopardize your profit and compliance. We can help illustrate the business implications of this technical risk, so we can help your staff engineer actionable strategies.

Every engagement is designed to provide executive-ready insights, achieve risk mitigation, and maintain the security, compliance, and reliability of your iOS and Android apps. Our process is designed to meet your objectives while ensuring that consistency is maintained across projects and timelines.

Our Testing Process:

We take an aligned business approach to mobile testing that integrates established global standards such as OWASP Mobile Top 10 and NIST SP 800-115.

We identify mobile architecture, APIs, and other integrations to assess possible exposure points. We develop a threat model by mapping user data flows, permissions, and network actions.

We conduct static and dynamic analysis on your app and associated code to identify periods of weak encryption, unprotected session management, poor authentication, or unmonitored data storage.

Controlled environments allow us to simulate unforeseen circumstances while confirming in advance the possibility of successful exploitation of the attacks.

The clients are presented with two distinct documents, one of which is an overview designed for top-tier management, while the other is an articulate, precise technical analysis designed for the programmers.

After the defenses of the corporation have been applied, a detailed re-test is conducted with the sole aim of confirming that the defenses have been successful while closing the loop on any possible exploitation.

Comprehensive Mobile Application Testing Solutions for Secure and Scalable Business Growth

Mobile App Penetration Testing

Our mobile app penetration testing techniques strive to pinpoint and appraise exposures long before malicious actors by emulating their nefarious actions conducted in other app ecosystems. We evaluate the logic of authentication flows bound to the devices and the devices’ silos of data, the channels of inter-device communications, and the communications ports of the applications. Interfaces for weaknesses. Realistic threat emulation was developed in a way to improve the understanding and correlate business impact for all issues framed and for each intersection stitch strategic stitches to secure losses.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

For the prevention of the development of issues, we carry out application testing on both iOS and Android stagnant baselines. We endeavor app binaries, configured blueprints, and third-party stockpiles of hard-coded authorizations (e.g. credentials), we hack weak ciphers, sham, unmanned, data, and triage. This approach decreases the cost of troubleshooting; the mobile apps are still compliant with all the mentioned OWASP Mobile Top 10.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Our direct examination of the mobile app’s functioning in actual settings, where an app is used and interactively used in the interface, within the margin of the app's functioning. These tests for weak areas, principal faults unattended and forsaken in the app and portals to Block H, and then H, Trap, are inaccessible on the Verge of manipulating the data. This is to ensure that all users of the system and all apps that are in circulation are secure on all use ports, hardware, and also after any fixes are made, regardless of the modules being serviced.

API and Backend Security Testing

APIs are among the core components of mobile ecosystems and are targeted the most by attackers. For this reason, mobile APIs' security testing focuses on a mobile user’s authentication tokens, encryption, the effectiveness of a user’s authentication, and how the system responds during a mobile user’s session. We uncover backend servers' logic flaws, injection points, and data breaches, compromising customer data servers as the central servers. You get to enjoy total visibility and protection on all tiers of mobile cloud infrastructure.

Data Storage and Encryption Testing

Unattended sensitive data should never remain unprotected on a portable device. We assess how an application sets user data, reconciliation tokens, and stored cache files by performing mobile data storage security testing. We block insecure stored tokens, unprotected credentials, and weak encryption, assuring sensitive data is always under protective measures, irrespective of user device status as being removed, stolen, or rooted.

Authentication and Session Management Testing

Unauthorized access is the plague of modern mobile applications. We assess login processes and access tokens to defend against unauthorized session access by any user. We assess mobile applications against the OWASP Mobile Top 10 Standards. Results speak: assurance of identity is derived, as well as compliance with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 security requirements.

Mobile App Tampering and Reverse Engineering

An app’s behavior and logic can often be altered and even flaws instilled, all due to reverse engineering. Through reverse engineering testing and reverse engineering tamper resistance evaluation, we assess how robust your mobile applications are to decompilation, code injection, binary repackaging, and other forms of reverse engineering. We help resolve instances of app integrity loss, which could result in data theft or a data breach due to a lack of proper restrictions on app modifications.

Third-Party SDK and Library Security Review

Stealthily, external Software Development Kits and Dependencies can pose a range of vulnerabilities. Through mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) and dependency analysis, we focus on the presence of insecure Non-compliant Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), insecure permissions, unmaintained and insecure libraries, and outdated dependencies. We abide by all external third-party integrators to secure update cycles to minimize your supply chain exposure.

Cloud Storage Penetration Testing

Mobile application testing is not only confined to the mobile application but also includes the mobile application supporting cloud and network infrastructure. We evaluate how data traverses mobile clients, servers, and APIs, testing for intersections in port selective monitors and SSL/TLS configurations, Wi-Fi snooping, and eavesdropping. This assures complete security visibility from device to data center, with end-to-end encryption maintained.

Continuous Security Monitoring

Ongoing mobile monitoring will detect new vulnerabilities, configuration drifts, and emerging trends of threats in real-time. It helps the organization in sustaining compliance over a long time and in emerging threats, and in speedy recapturing of security incidents, which helps in defensively preparing the organization.
