In today’s mobile-first world, securing your mobile applications is more critical than ever. At CyEile Technologies, we specialize in Mobile Application Penetration Testing to protect your apps from emerging threats. With over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, we provide thorough testing to ensure your mobile applications are secure, compliant, and reliable.
Mobile applications are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals due to the sensitive data they handle and their integration with critical business systems. A single vulnerability can lead to significant financial loss, legal penalties, and damage to your brand’s reputation. With CyEile Technologies, you can ensure that your mobile applications are resilient against these threats, keeping your business and users safe. We ae following these methodologies to ensures a thorough and consistent approach to mobile application security testing.
The OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide provides a structured approach to mobile app security testing, focusing on:
- Information Gathering: Collecting information about the mobile application, including its architecture, APIs, and data handling.
- Architecture and Design Analysis: Evaluating the app’s design to identify potential security weaknesses and ensure proper implementation of security controls.
- Static Analysis: Examining the app’s source code or binaries to identify vulnerabilities without executing the application.
- Dynamic Analysis: Testing the app while it is running to identify security issues such as improper handling of data or insecure communication.
- Network Communication Testing: Analyzing the security of data transmission between the mobile app and backend servers.
- Authentication and Authorization Testing: Assessing the security of user authentication mechanisms and access controls.
- Sensitive Data Storage: Reviewing how the app stores sensitive data and ensuring it is encrypted and protected.
The Mobile App Security Verification Standard (MASVS) provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the security of mobile applications:
- Mature App Analysis: Evaluating the security of mature apps against MASVS’s established security requirements.
- Advanced Threat Modeling: Identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities based on the app’s specific use cases and threat landscape.
- Data Protection: Ensuring that sensitive data is securely handled, encrypted, and protected against unauthorized access.
- Code Quality and Security: Assessing the quality and security of the app’s code to identify weaknesses or insecure coding practices.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-115 offers guidelines for security testing, including:
- Planning: Defining the scope, objectives, and rules of engagement for the penetration test.
- Discovery: Gathering information about the application, including network, system, and application-level data.
- Exploitation: Attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to assess their impact.
- Post-Exploitation: Analyzing the potential damage and lateral movement that could occur as a result of exploitation.
- Reporting: Documenting findings, risk assessments, and remediation recommendations.
Different levels of testing based on the information available:
- Black Box Testing: Testing the application without prior knowledge of its internal workings, simulating an external attack scenario.
- White Box Testing: Conducting testing with full access to the app’s internal details, such as source code and architecture, to perform an in-depth analysis.
- Gray Box Testing: Combining elements of both Black Box and White Box testing, providing partial information to simulate a scenario where some insider knowledge is available.
A proactive approach to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities based on the app’s architecture, data flows, and user interactions:
- Identify Threats: Analyzing potential threats and attack vectors specific to the app.
- Assess Risks: Evaluating the likelihood and impact of identified threats.
- Mitigation Strategies: Developing strategies to address and mitigate identified risks.
Reconnaissance and Analysis
We start by gathering information about your mobile application, its architecture, and the underlying APIs.
Platform-Specific Testing
We perform targeted tests for both iOS and Android platforms, checking for OS-specific vulnerabilities like improper use of platform security features.
Authentication and Authorization Testing
Our team examines the security of login mechanisms, user authentication processes, and access controls to prevent unauthorized access.
Exploitation and Post-Exploitation
After identifying vulnerabilities, we attempt controlled exploitation to understand their impact and how they could be leveraged by attackers.
Static and Dynamic Analysis
Our experts analyze the app’s code and behavior during runtime to identify potential vulnerabilities, including insecure code practices and data leaks.
Network Communication Testing
We evaluate the security of data transmitted between the mobile app and backend servers, ensuring encryption and protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.
Data Storage Security
We assess how your mobile application handles sensitive data storage, checking for secure data encryption and protection against data leaks.
Detailed Reporting
We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, risks, and recommendations, making it easy for you to take corrective action.
Don’t compromise on the security of your mobile applications. Start Securing with CyEile Technologies today and protect your apps from evolving threats.
