Industry Leading Mobile App Pen Testing
Penetration Tests are essential for initial mobile app releases, major updates, handling of sensitive data, and industry compliance. NowSecure Pen Test services engagements embrace a consultative approach to threat model the mobile app, identify security issues, and provide actionable outputs with remediation consultation and retesting for verification. Stepping up to NowSecure PTaaS adds continuous automated testing to expert pen testing for maximum impact.
Confidence to Deliver More Secure Apps
NowSecure Pen Testing Services always start with an analysis of risk profiles to granularly identify the level of security testing required for each mobile application. By customizing the approach to testing based on the risk profile of an application, NowSecure delivers accurate, relevant, and actionable results. These empower the business to remediate the most important security issues to release the app faster with higher confidence. By adding the continuous testing of NowSecure PTaas can automatically test all builds and releases between formal pen tests to eliminate gaps in coverage.
Test for Complex Requirements
NowSecure expert analysts go beyond surface level testing to achieve deep coverage. They accomplish this feat by conducting a manual analysis of data at rest, network communication, authentication and authorization, backend APIs and binary code quality. This approach includes reverse engineering resiliency, cryptographic implementations and flagging outdated or vulnerable third-party libraries including open-source elements. NowSecure handles complex app requirements such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and USB connectivity to external devices, non-standard platforms, IoT devices or other functionality requiring advanced scoping.
Collaborate to Repair and Verify Fixes
A primary challenge to enterprises is understanding the mobile app issues discovered and rapidly remediating them. NowSecure experts consult with dev and security teams to speed resolution. Upon initial completion, experts retest to verify that any critical vulnerabilities isolated in the pen test were thoroughly fixed.
Meet Compliance Mandates
Many industry standards and regulations require an analytics-rich penetration test far beyond conventional web app security testing in order to document compliance. NowSecure Pen Testing services enable customer organizations to meet or exceed these standards in a dependable, flexible, and timely manner in an authorized lab environment. Standards improve dev and security team alignment and collaboration, which ensures quality and speeds release times.
