Meeting your business objectives

Mobile applications are defined as the software that runs on any mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets, or similar devices. These applications are present and commonly used by companies to provide functionality to both clients and employees. Finding flaws in mobile applications can result in attackers compromising devices, sensitive customer or third-party information, to use the devices as gateways for accessing confidential internal corporate resources. It has become increasingly important to ensure applications are coded in an efficient manner, in order to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Service capabilities

01
Code Inspection: This is a static analysis of the mobile applications themselves, decompiling them so that the source code can be examined.
02
Application Assessment: The application will be installed on a testing device to assess whether the application securely stores any sensitive data such as configurations, and also using debuggers and instrumentation frameworks to alter the intended functionality of the application in order to bypass protections.
03
Traffic Inspection: All traffic the application makes to any servers will be inspected and assessed to ensure that secure protocols are being used. In addition, the servers will be subject to infrastructure and web application assessments to provide assurance around their security posture.
04
Mobile Device Management Assessment: When applicable, any MDM solution installed on the device will also be assessed, both the MDM configuration and the MDM application itself.
05
Vulnerability and extended manual testing will explicitly identify where security holes lie and remove false positives. When applicable, other methods will be utilised.
06
Any security issues identified will be highlighted, with recommendations made to ensure all risks are minimised.
07
Any high-risk issues, or ones that could be exploited, will be reported immediately as they could pose an imminent threat, were they to be discovered by an attacker.
