Mobile App Security Testing

What is Mobile Application Security Testing?

Mobile application security testing entails putting a mobile app through its paces in the same way that a malicious user would. Understanding the application's business objective and the types of data it processes is essential for effective security testing. Following that, a combination of static analysis, dynamic analysis, and penetration testing produces an effective holistic assessment that uncovers vulnerabilities that would otherwise go undetected if the approaches were not employed effectively together.

In 2015 in the United States alone, users spent 54% of their digital media time on mobile devices actively using mobile applications. These apps have access to a lot of user data, a lot of it is sensitive and needs to be kept safe from prying eyes.

Mobile application security statistics

With 7 million apps available in stores around the world, mobile applications are at the heart of our mobile usage. They have become a crucial component of our routine by providing a wide range of services remotely, and they handle more sensitive data than any other medium.<br>Security measures are sometimes overlooked while designing mobile applications at a rapid pace to meet business objectives. Mobile applications with internal weaknesses are frequently distributed without security testing, potentially resulting in data leakage and harmful activity.

Reduce the Risk of Costly Data Breaches

Addresses compliance requirements, reduces risk and produces safer mobile apps to stay secure from potential attacks.

Mobile App on device security

Analyze how the mobile application interacts with the platform in a secure state and in a jailbroken state.

Web services and API back-end

Assess the security of Web Services and API consumed by the mobile application.

Data in Motion

Assessment of controls such as encryption while transmitting sensitive data to back-end systems.

Local data storage security

Controls to protect sensitive data, such as user credentials and private information, if it is kept locally.

Authentication and Authorization

Assessment of authentication and authorization controls. Review of the session and token management.

Binary & File Level Analysis

Review the application binary and perform file-level analysis for identifying vulnerabilities.

Reverse Engineering

We will simulate hacker techniques such as reverse engineering to understand the working of the app.

Manual Review

Our Mobile Application Security Assessment utilizes a great amount of manual testing.

Mobile App Source code review

Perform automated and manual code reviews for identifying security weaknesses in the code.

Aspire Tech Mobile Application Security Testing Services

Aspire Tech conducts Security Testing on various types of mobile apps such as:

  • Native applications
  • Hybrid applications
  • Mobile-Web applications

Benefits:

  • Indicates any flaws or faults in the app
  • Identifies any unauthorized access to the app occurs or exists
  • Assisting in preventing app downtime to further enhance the user experience & productivity

What We Deliver:

Aspire Tech delivers a variety of reports to verify your application security posture and provide actionable intelligence to help you quickly prioritize and remediate any exposures.

  • Mobile Application Vulnerability Report Explains how weak server-side controls, client-side injection, poor transport layer security, unintentional data leakage, and other dangers can be exploited in your apps, as well as providing useful code fixes.
  • Infrastructure Findings Report Provides information on the application infrastructure, such as operating systems, frameworks, back-end databases, and so on, as well as relevant recommendations.

What Will Be Assessed?

Aspire Tech will assess your mobile application against a detailed testing methodology that has been developed in-house, leaning on industry and internal research.

Our testing methodology is based on two distinct methods – Dynamic and Static testing

Dynamic Testing:

  • Injection Vulnerabilities
  • Broken Authentication
  • Sensitive Data Exposure
  • Insecure/Outdated Functions
  • Broken Access Control
  • Business Logic

Static Testing:

  • Credential Disclosure Within Source Code
  • Certificate Pinning
  • Root Detection
  • Insecure Keychain Usage
  • Insecure Key Storage
  • Insecure/Outdated

We Help You By

Defining A New Scope

We set a clear scope for the client before executing an application assessment. For us to build a solid foundation on which to work, we need to communicate openly.

Local Data Storage

Many sensitive data, such as private information and user passwords, are stored in a mobile app. Our skilled cybersecurity services ensure that your mobile app does not disclose your important data to the outside world.

Gathering Information

We use a wide range of open-source intelligence techniques and tools to gather as much information as possible on the target. The gathered data aids us in fully understanding and assessing all cyber risks.

Attack & Penetration

We ensure that all application-layer assaults on your mobile apps are carried out by conducting both automated and manual security scans to identify all possible vulnerabilities. We execute exploits on your mobile app to test its security when we figure out what's going on. To get a higher level of penetration, we use open-source scripts and methods.
