Mobile Apps Pentesting

Mobile Apps Pentesting

Mobile applications have become an integral part of our daily lives. The apps handle and store sensitive data, making them attractive targets for attackers. This makes app developers vulnerable for reputation damage, legal issues and financial losses. Let Secura help you identify security weaknesses in your apps.

Secura Mobile App Testing

Every mobile application is different. So we start by identifying context-specific threats. That will allow us to maximally tailor the assessment to the application in question.

Next we study and test the mobile application thoroughly for design flaws, configuration errors and programming errors. We combine the personal experience of our testers with knowledge available in the global application security community.

3 Layers of the Mobile Application Security Verification Standard

OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard

As a baseline to define our application-tailored assessments, Secura follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS).

This standard defines three levels of security requirements and testing rigor. Each level is designed to build on the previous level, providing a progressive approach to mobile security. Secura follows the levels of MASVS as a starting point to define the thoroughness of an application test.

MASVS-L1

MASVS-L1 is the baseline and includes a set of requirements that every mobile application should meet in order to provide a basic level of security.

MASVS-L2

MASVS-L2 includes more advanced security controls and more defense-in-depth security mechanisms for the mobile application.

MASVS-R

MASVS-R focuses specifically on the resilience of mobile applications to attacks in which the Operating System and User are not trusted. It includes a set of verification requirements designed to ensure that mobile applications are designed and built to be resilient to, for example tampering and reverse engineering.

Fully Tailored to Your Needs

For the majority of applications, our default coverage based on MASVS-L1 is sufficient to ensure that the application is protected against the most prevalent threats. Depending on the application’s complexity and needs, MASVS-L2 and MASVS-R can be covered as well.

Testing levels for different types of mobile applications

MASVS-L1

Offered by default for all mobile applications.

MASVS-L1 + MASVS-R

For mobile applications where intellectual property is a business goal.

MASVS-L2

For mobile applications that handle confidential business data or financial transactions.

MASVS-L2 + MASVS-R

For mobile applications that handle highly sensitive data, for example health records.

Regulations and industry standards may require organizations to implement specific security controls and testing procedures for mobile applications. For example, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires that organizations that accept credit card payments through mobile applications comply with a set of specific requirements for secure development and test.

The application(s) will be studied thoroughly and tested for all kinds of design, configuration and programming errors, of course with maximum attention for security weaknesses from the OWASP Top 10.

Wi-Fi Pentesting

Article image

Wireless technology remains a weak spot in many infrastructures. A Wi-Fi penetration test, or pentest, will reveal wireless weak points, exploit the vulnerabilities and provide clear advice on how to mitigate the risks to an acceptable level.

Hardware / IoT Pentesting

Article image

Hardware, firmware and (cloud dwelling) backends are all targets for attackers and often not very well understood. Secura can test all these aspects, and also apply reverse engineering and firmware hacking techniques to find out which weaknesses exist.

Infrastructure Pentesting

Article image

External, internet visible IT systems are attacked daily. It is therefore often required to test these systems periodically or when significant changes are applied.

Industrial Vulnerability Assessment / Pentest

Article image

Within industrial environments, cybersecurity testing requires a specialized approach. This is mainly due to the different risks and threat models within Operational Technology (OT).
