Our Process to Mobile Application Security Assessment

Scope Definition

Define the target platforms (iOS, Android) and specify devices, functionalities, and testing depth.

Threat Modeling

Analyze potential threats and vulnerabilities considering data handling, network security, and authentication.

Tool Selection

Choose a combination of automated testing tools (e.g., OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide, Mobile Security Framework) and manual testing techniques.

Static Analysis

Inspect the application's source code for vulnerabilities without executing it. Look for insecure coding practices, improper data handling, and security misconfigurations.

Client-Side Attack

Client-side attacks target the following domains: (a) platform interaction, (b) local storage, (c) encryption practices, (d) binary and conclusive analysis, (e) insecure API invocations, and (f) files lacking sufficient access controls.

Dynamic Analysis

Execute the application on emulators or real devices to identify runtime vulnerabilities. Analyze network traffic, API calls, and device interactions.

Data Handling

Evaluate how sensitive data (credentials, personal information) is stored and processed. Check for encryption, secure storage practices, and data leakage risks.

Back-end/Server-Side Attack

The application's intended functionality is provided by back-end components like web servers and APIs. Our testing team simulates an attack on the mobile application's web services and APIs.

Authentication/Authorization

Assess the strength of authentication mechanisms. Verify that users have appropriate access privileges and rights within the app.

Network Security

Analyze how the app communicates with servers. Check for secure connections (SSL/TLS), encryption, and protection against Man-in-the-Middle attacks.Assaulting the network layer involves examining communication pathways, capturing network data, and assessing safeguards at the transport layer.

Secure Code Review

Review the codebase for secure coding practices, adherence to platform-specific security guidelines, and the use of secure APIs.

Reporting and Documentation

Document all identified vulnerabilities, along with their risk levels and recommended mitigations. Provide a detailed report to stakeholders.

Follow-up Support

We are on our toes to support your initiative.

Why opt for Mobile Application Security Assessment?

Mobile application security assessments are crucial to identify and address vulnerabilities in mobile apps, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and user privacy. With the increasing use of mobile devices for various tasks, including banking, shopping, and communication, mobile apps have become prime targets for cyber attacks. By conducting security assessments, organizations can detect common vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, insufficient authentication, and insecure communication channels. Addressing these vulnerabilities helps prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and financial losses. Additionally, mobile application security assessments aid in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards, enhancing overall security posture and maintaining customer trust. Overall, these assessments are essential for mitigating risks associated with mobile applications and ensuring their security and reliability.
