NowSecure Platform
The platform for mobile application risk management
NowSecure gives enterprises continuous visibility into the security, privacy, AI, compliance, and supply chain risk inside the mobile apps they build, use, and manage. Test compiled binaries on real devices, uncover runtime behavior, and operationalize findings across development, security, governance, and partner workflows.
What Is Mobile App Security Testing?
Enterprise mobile risk now comes from every app connected to your business: customer apps, workforce apps, third-party apps, partner apps, AI-enabled apps, and the SDKs, APIs, and data flows inside them.
Security teams need more than periodic testing. They need a continuous way to see what is inside every mobile app, how it behaves at runtime, where data moves, where AI is present, and which risks require action.
Mobile is broader
Risk spans customer apps, workforce apps, third-party apps, partner apps, and AI-enabled apps.
Periodic testing is too narrow
Teams need continuous visibility into runtime behavior, data movement, AI presence, and business risk.
Survey proof
68% report more than half of app code comes from third-party SDKs/libraries.
Risk signal
Those organizations saw twice the security incident rate.
How Mobile Application Risk Management Expands Beyond Mobile App Security Testing
| Old model | New reality |
|---|---|
| Test the app before release | Continuously assess apps in development, production, and the enterprise ecosystem |
| Focus on vulnerabilities | Manage security, privacy, AI, compliance, supply chain, and business risk |
| Review apps your team builds | How applications operate when executed on real devices. |
| Report technical findings | How embedded SDKs and libraries impact application security. |
Manage Risk Across the Mobile Apps You Build, Use, and Manage
Apps you build
Examples
Customer-facing apps, employee apps, partner apps
Risk Question
Are we releasing secure, compliant, AI-aware mobile experiences?
Apps you use
Examples
Approved apps, MDM/EMM apps, BYOD/BYOA apps
Risk Question
Which apps should be allowed, restricted, monitored, or escalated?
Apps you manage
Examples
Third-party apps, SaaS companion apps, workforce apps
Risk Question
What data do these apps collect, send, expose, or process with AI?

Mobile App Security, Privacy, AI, and Compliance Capabilities in One Platform
Test Compiled Apps
Analyze iOS and Android binaries as they will run in the real world. Find risks that source-code review and shallow scans may miss.
Run on Real Devices
Observe runtime behavior on physical mobile devices, not just emulators. See how apps actually handle data, permissions, APIs, and third-party services.
Map Data and API Flows
Identify where mobile apps connect, what data they collect, and where that data goes. Give privacy, security, and governance teams evidence they can use.
Detect AI in Mobile Apps
Find AI SDKs, embedded models, AI APIs, AI analytics, and AI-generated code inside mobile apps. NowSecure research found AI components in 53% of 50,000 recently tested apps, reinforcing why governance starts with visibility.
Generate Mobile SBOM and Dynamic SBOM Visibility
Create a clearer inventory of components, SDKs, libraries, and AI-related elements inside mobile apps. With only 49% of surveyed organizations always assessing SDKs before release, mobile supply chain visibility has become a control gap.
Operationalize Remediation
Route findings into CI/CD, ticketing, vulnerability management, and governance workflows. Help teams prioritize what matters and fix without slowing every release.
Why Real-Device Mobile App Testing Finds More Risk Than Emulator-Based Scans
Mobile apps behave differently once compiled, deployed, connected to APIs, and running on physical devices. NowSecure analyzes the app in the environment where risk actually appears.
| Capability | NowSecure | Traditional AppSec / Shallow Mobile Scans |
|---|---|---|
| Test object | Compiled mobile binary | Source code, partial packages, or limited scans |
| Runtime environment | Real physical devices | Emulators or simulated environments |
| Coverage | Static, dynamic, IAST, API, privacy, AI, supply chain | Often narrow static or emulator-based checks |
| Risk visibility | App behavior, data flows, SDKs, APIs, AI exposure | Limited view of runtime and ecosystem risk |
| Workflow impact | Findings routed into dev, security, and governance tools | Reports that often require manual translation |
