Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile applications are a prime target for cyberattacks due to the sensitive data they often handle and their widespread use across various industries. Common vulnerabilities include insecure data storage, weak authentication mechanisms, improper session management, and flaws in APIs that connect to backend systems. These vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or even control of the application. Mobile application penetration testing is crucial to identify and remediate these weaknesses, ensuring the application is secure against real-world threats. It helps safeguard user data, maintain trust, and comply with industry regulations and security standards.
Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
- Many Compliance regulations demand regular Penetration Testing
- Customers and partners may require proof of regular pen testing
- What if a competitor or hacker would steal your digital assets?
- What legal consequences would a security breach have for you?
- What would be the financial implications if your systems or applications are taken down?
- What reputational damage would a breach pose to your business?
- Proactive security investment instead of reactive repair costs
- Automated scanners cannot find many modern vulnerabilities such as IDORs and business logic flaws
Service Description
The service covers all threat vectors concerning mobile applications on Apple iOS and Google Android. The audits carried out include reverse engineering of the application, application runtime analysis, traffic flow & encryption flaws, insecure storage, code signing, memory protections, API endpoints analysis as well as fuzzing and exploitation. We will test your Android and iPhone mobile applications to make sure they cannot be compromised. We can also include backend servers in the testing.
Tests performed
Our testing methodologies are aligned with the following frameworks: NIST, OWASP Top 10 Mobile App Security Testing Guide. A lot of the flaws are identical to the ones encountered on web applications, but are exposed through APIs instead. These include user input not being sanitized, clear text transmission of confidential information to servers, the possibility to introduce own code and the manipulation of the execution flow.
Deliverables
