Michael Krueger is the Director of Application Security at NowSecure. As a U.S. federal government employee, Michael was first a NowSecure Federal Customer, then he joined the NowSecure team.

What do you like about NowSecure Workstation?

NowSecure Workstation solves three major security analysts’ problems: time to set up, time and coverage of testing, and time to report.

What sets NowSecure apart from competitors?

NowSecure is different. We care about our mission: saving the world from unsafe mobile apps. When you talk to anybody at NowSecure, that’s evident. They care about the mission. They care about helping. That’s how we make an impact.

What drives you to do the job?

I like making an impact. I like the mission. I like helping people.

As a Government employee, why did you go with NowSecure?

That’s actually a funny story, why I chose NowSecure: At first, I didn’t. In fact — I said, “Absolutely not.” But once I got my hands on it, and I understood how much of a benefit it had, then I had to say, “Yes.” NowSecure Platform was the first tool we bought.

Why did you choose to leave Gov and work for NowSecure?

I was starting up a vulnerability assessment program, and NowSecure was one of the first tools we identified that could accomplish the job, and save us time & money for the small amount of people we had. When I was looking to make a career change I thought NowSecure would be a great place to work.

What do you like about being a mobile security analyst?

What do I like about my job? I like that every day is different. I like that I get into things, break things. Every day is fun!

What security testing tools do you use?

What security testing tools do I use? NowSecure, and of course Frida, Radare, and other open-source tools.

What is the coolest vulnerability you have found?

Well, I can’t really tell you, but there was this game that was on the phones of a huge number of federal employees, and it was sending some information to Russia.

What do you like about NowSecure?

What I like about NowSecure Platform is that if you look in the industry today, its emulator is emulated, and we use and test on real devices. Dare you to find somebody else doing that!

What final mobile appsec msg do you have for Gov?

When you think about yourself and the employees around you, do you know what’s on your phone… and who’s watching?
