Pre-Engagement
Our team compiles data on the application's architecture, use cases, business logic, and other pertinent details about the mobile application.
What is
Mobile Application Security Assessment
Over the last few years, mobile technology has accelerated its growth and seen a massive increase in user base. Mobile applications store and process a wide variety of sensitive data, from credit card information to intellectual property to medical records. Malicious attackers easily target this sensitive information. According to research, there are nearly 20 million active vulnerabilities on mobile devices!
Due to the blurring of the lines between secure and exposed data. Mobile Application Security Testing evaluates an application's security and a large pool of mobile application threat vectors to identify inherent vulnerabilities and ensure the application's secure state while in use.
Our approach to Mobile Application Security Assessment
We at HackersEra take a 360-degree approach when it comes to Mobile Application Security Assessment.
1
2
Threat Modelling
Create an application's threat profile by enumerating all potential risks and associated threats. This enables testers to create custom test plans to simulate attacks, allowing for assessing actual risks rather than generic vulnerabilities.
3
Mapping Applications
Identify and associate the application's data with the various aspects of the generated threat profile. Numerous parameters include the following: (a) Key chains, brute-force attacks, and parameter tampering; (b) Malicious input, fuzzing; (c) SQLite database password fields, configuration file encryption; (d) Session IDs, time lockouts; (e) Error and exception handling; and (f) Logs, log access control.
4
Client-Side Attack
Client-side attack concentrate on the following areas: (a) platform interaction (b) local storage (c) encryption usage (d) binary and final analysis (e) insecure API calls, and (f) files with adequate access controls.
5
Network Layer Attack
Attacking the network layer entails probing communication channels, capturing network traffic, and evaluating transport layer protection.
6
Back-end/Server-Side Attack
Back-ends, such as web servers and APIs, provide the application's intended functionality. Our testing team creates a simulated attack on the web services and APIs of the mobile application.
7
Report submission
Once the assessment is complete, a detailed written report outlining each observed and or exploited vulnerabilities, along with the root cause analysis and categorisation along with mitigation and confirmatory re-test certificate if the need arrives.
8
Support
What really makes us stand apart is our excellent and round the clock support, making sure our clients never have to witness hurdles in the business.

Why
Mobile Application Security Assessment?
During a Mobile App Security Assessment, mobile app security experts use a rigorous methodology to determine the overall security posture of a given application. These experts model the threat posed by a range of threat actors with varying levels of sophistication. They'll be able to determine how resistant your mobile app is to these various threat. When security flaws are discovered, you'll be informed of the implications and, more importantly, how to resolve the issue. An in-depth mobile application security assessment will notify you of any identified positive security controls, allowing you to continue doing what you're doing with the confidence that you're doing things correctly.
Several groups benefit from a mobile application security assessment:
- Developers gain confidence in the safety and security of their product for their customers.
- Businesses gain confidence in the security of integrating a mobile application into their operations.
- Users feel safer knowing that the app has passed a mobile security test, giving them the confidence to use it.
Simply put, an excellent mobile app security assessment will tell you what a mobile app is doing correctly and incorrectly in terms of cybersecurity.
