Mobile Application Pentesting

Mobile applications’ access to internal systems, processes, and data continues to grow. UBUNIFU'S deep-dive manual processes identify weaknesses and ensure mobile application security.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

Securing mobile applications is more important than ever – they are being built faster than any other consumer technology in history, and the pressures of rapid development can lead to reduced security and privacy, and a lack of mobile app security testing tools.

Application development is highly susceptible to security vulnerabilities due to the huge premium on time-to-market. As a result, many companies are turning to outside, independent providers to design and build their mobile applications without vetting those developers’ security knowledge.

A growing number of subsidiary departments within larger organizations are flying under the corporate security radar and developing mobile applications without adequate consideration for secure coding practices.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

UBUNIFU’s team consists of mobile application security experts with proven methods and tools to combat risks to both native and hybrid mobile applications on iOS, Android, and other legacy mobile operating systems. We manually test for security controls in four essential areas: file system, memory, network communications, and GUI. The testing can be conducted on a live device or on emulator software.

SOME OF THE MOBILE APPLICATION SECURITY VULNERABILITIES CHECKED FOR INCLUDE:

  • Insecure data storage
  • Weak server-side controls
  • Insufficient transport layer protection
  • Client-side injection vulnerabilities
  • Poor authentication and authorization techniques
  • Improper session handling
  • Data flow issues
  • Side channel data leakage
  • Cryptography
  • Sensitive information disclosure
