Ensuring the safety and security of user data is paramount to running any mobile applications. Our tailored approach checks for flaws or exploits that could lead to your data being compromised. These services are designed to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities before it’s too late.
Secure Code review is the process of manually reviewing the source code that would highlight issues missed during a black box pentest. This review helps to detect the inconsistencies overlooked during all other security assessments.
Mobile application security assessment is the must do exercise to get an assessment of your applications to keep malicious users away from your infrastructure.
We store a lot of information on mobile devices using applications. Leakage of this information could cause serious damage to the user of the mobile device. An insecure application could provide backdoor access to the sensitive data or compromise of the entire device itself.
Mobile penetration testing of your applications prior to going live will help reduce your risk of data breach by identifying and eliminating critical security vulnerabilities across your ecosystem.
We have a dedicated security assessments FAQ section. Read it here.
Applications are using pre-existing components because of tight deadline requirements or even because of fast turnaround requirement. Vulnerable components can be widespread within an organization
Unpatched known vulnerabilities are a serious risk and hackers rush to develop exploits before users of these vulnerable components have time to patch their applications.
Insecure Deserialization occurs when untrusted data
Injecting hostile serialized objects into a web app to initialize unauthorized deserialization can effectively get a web application to run a malicious script or program that will allow the attacker to gain access to the webserver, or cause damage to it and the web applications and services that are hosted on the platform.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability target scripts embedded in a page that
Security misconfiguration is a broad category and is one of the common vulnerabilities found in applications. The misconfiguration could be
Security misconfiguration is nothing but incorrectly assembling the safeguards of the web application. Such risks occur when holes
Broken access control occurs when users can perform functions above their levels or gain access to other users’ information. This vulnerability could trivially lead to unauthorized information disclosure, modification or destruction of all data, or performing a business function outside of the limits of the user.
An Extensible Markup Language (XML) processor is vulnerable to to XML External Entity (XXE) attack because of the way it processes the input having a reference to an external entity. The attacks can reveal local files having sensitive data such as username, passwords and configuration files by utilising relative paths or schemes in the system identifier.
A threat actor can use the trusted application to hinge at other internal systems, probably showing other confidential content; by starting a CSRF attack for any of the insecure internal services or through HTTP
Sensitive data exposure is one of the most dangerous threats to any application because of the damage it can do to the business following a data breach. This data exposure occurs when an application does not adequately protect sensitive information such as passwords, payment details or health data. With this information, a threat actor can make fraudulent purchases, access a victim’s personal accounts, or even personal blackmail.
Injection flaws, such as SQL injection, LDAP injection, and CRLF injection, occur when a threat actor sends untrusted data to an interpreter that
Injection can cause data loss, corruption or disclosure of sensitive information to unauthorized parties, loss of accountability, or denial of access. Injection can sometimes lead to complete host takeover. The business impact depends on the needs of the application and data.
We base our mobile application assessment offerings on an extensive methodology that we have developed after years of experience working across several sectors. A cybersecurity consultancy must follow an approach that delivers expected returns on your investment. At a high level, our approach to mobile application security assessments is:
When you decide to give us the go-ahead, our very first step is to gain insight into your motivation, so that we can advise on your real concerns. The comprehensive process we go through to understand this determines the vision for the project. At the technical level, this includes assets to be included, their fragility and importance to the environment.
Based on the response received from the reconnaissance phase, the target list is prioritised. The priority would be based on "low-hanging" fruit that could aid in gaining a foothold within the network trivially.
This phase helps to
Our consultants would focus on the top 10 categories of attacks defined by the industry-standard OWASP. This includes:
Web server hosting of the application is also considered a vital component during this testing. A weakness in supporting infrastructure including the configuration of the webserver could lead to a slight compromise of the application hosted on it.
Modern applications (including mobile) rely on API's for their features / functionalities. Once the API endpoints
Following the initial run, the app would create several files / data which would be stored in the app folder on the device. These files would be analysed to understand the storage mechanism. This analysis would reveal if any app sensitive data including session tokens, passwords are stored in clear text on the device itself.
Our reports are comprehensive and include all the evidence that supports our findings. We give you a risk rating that considers how likely an attack is as well as the impact it could have. We don’t create panic scenarios. Our mitigation is detailed, covering both strategic and tactical areas to help our clients prepare a remediation plan.
