Learn moreMobile application penetration testing is a form of security testing that is used by companies to evaluate security from inside of a mobile environment. Mobile penetration testing is built on OWASP mobile application security verification standard. Mobile pentesting performed by qualified reputable specialists is focused on client-side safety, file system, hardware, and network security.
By conducting a mobile pen test, the company can identify vulnerabilities in the mobile application, bottlenecks, loopholes, and vectors of an attack before delivering an app to the ultimate user. As a result, mobile app pen testing allows the company to realize how to modify the design, code, and architecture before the official release. The costs required to fix the issues detected during mobile application pentesting are much lower than potential financial losses a company may experience as the result of the information theft enabled by the exploitation of these vulnerabilities by malicious actors. The companies ignoring mobile penetration testing face the risk of experiencing not only direct financial losses but also reputational and legal damage after the release of their mobile apps due to security problems.
