During its recent hackathon, NowSecure’s research and engineering teams built working prototypes of AI-powered tools spanning the mobile app security lifecycle: agentic reverse engineering and finding validation, real-device exploit confirmation, AI-generated mobile device management (MDM) policy guidance and dramatically expanded vulnerability database coverage. Each prototype built on NowSecure’s research, specialized mobile application security testing tooling […]
Mobile apps have already made the jump to AI. Security programs haven’t. NowSecure’s 2026 Mobile App Risk Management (MARM) Survey of 485 senior security leaders across finance, healthcare, high tech and retail found that every single respondent now rates mobile apps as very important or critical to the business, and 95% deploy AI inside them […]
Most vulnerability management programs are built on a simple assumption: vulnerabilities are discovered, assigned a CVE, analyzed, prioritized and remediated. A new federal audit suggests that model is under increasing strain. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) backlog isn’t just a government process issue; it’s evidence that vulnerability volume, software supply-chain complexity and shrinking exploitation timelines […]
Key Finding: 1 in 4 AI-generated code samples contain at least one confirmed OWASP vulnerability — and mobile apps face elevated risk due to their distributed, client-side execution model, direct exposure to untrusted devices and attack surfaces traditional AppSec tools are not designed to evaluate. Developers are increasingly turning to AI coding assistants to speed […]
When regulators issue billion-dollar fines, enterprises can no longer ignore the mobile app privacy blind spot. Organizations face significant compliance exposure because mobile apps that power the business often rely on hidden third-party SDKs and data flows that security teams aren’t monitoring. Most organizations have invested heavily in securing web applications and cloud infrastructure. Mobile […]
When Frederick County, Maryland, reviewed a mobile app used by its fire and rescue team, it passed every traditional check. The app connected to an ultrasound device, looked legitimate and had been approved. Binary-level analysis told a different story: the app was exposing protected health information, violating HIPAA in ways that no privacy label, MDM […]
