mobile application Security Testing

  • Apps that enterprises develop themselves (or have developed by outsourcers) must be tested, to ensure they’re not leaking customer data or opening the enterprise to attack
  • It’s cheaper and faster to test apps pre-production than it is after deployment
  • Automated testing of mobile software is faster and more effective than manual testing
  • Mobile applications interact with back-end web servers and services that also need to be tested
  • That’s where AppScan® comes in
What customers struggle with:
  • Deploying secure mobile applications – both iOS and Android
  • Static testing of mobile applications for security exposures, prior to deployment
  • Inability to assess security of mobile applications developed by outsourcers
  • Finding resources to test application code
  • Understanding security risks of the mobile application environment
  • Bringing together mobile application testing results with back-end web application and services results
How we can help - Value:
  • Protect Corporate Assets : AppScan can test mobile applications before they’re deployed, to ensure that they won’t be vulnerable to direct data theft or expose corporate data through back-end web applications and services they interact with.
  • Reduce Risks Introduced by Outsourcers : A lot of mobile development is outsourced to external providers. By using AppScan to test mobile source code before it’s accepted and deployed, companies can reduce their reputational risk.
  • Increase Efficiency : The integration of AppScan into the mobile development lifecycle means companies can catch and fix vulnerabilities in mobile apps before deployment. Since AppScan integrates with common IDE’s like Eclipse and interoperates with XCode – developers can save time by testing mobile source code and remediating vulnerabilities within their work environments.
Who is interested and why:

  • CISO or CIO seeking to improve overall security of mobile portfolio and protect corporate reputation with secure mobile apps
  • VP/Director of IT Security who needs to address increased adoption and deployment of mobile applications and improve efficiency of security and development teams
  • Security or Network Engineer who wants to test mobile apps and back-end web apps to detect, prioritize and resolve mobile application vulnerabilities
  • Development Managers and Developers who need to test mobile applications prior to launch, for vulnerabilities and remediate exposures that have been discovered in production
  • Compliance and Risk Officer who wants to automate monitoring and reporting, to comply with corporate policies and government mandates such as SOX, HIPAA, PCI, NERC, FISMA and GLBA, to ensure audits are passed

How to Address the Patching Paradox

Analyze your vulnerability response capabilities.  Assess vulnerability detection and patching capabilities to identify vulnerability response issues. Tackle low-hanging fruit first.  Prioritize minor vulnerability response problems and build a comprehensive vulnerability response strategy over time. Eliminate barriers between security and IT teams.  Combine vulnerability and IT configuration data into a single platform to drive collaboration between security and IT teams. Create end-to-end vulnerability response processes.  Develop vulnerability response processes and ensure that security and IT teams have a shared view of these processes. Retain security talent.  Remove internal barriers, optimize day-to-day processes and automate mundane work; by doing so, an organization can create a positive environment for security teams, increase employee satisfaction and boost the likelihood of retaining top security talent. Manual vulnerability response process...
