Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Coinciding with the rise of mobile phones, hackers target Mobile applications with the specific goal of stealing sensitive information from unsuspecting users. CYBRI’s Mobile application penetration testing services cover all aspects of your app, from user roles, API and web integrations, infrastructure, business logic, and data leakage.
We ensure that each new feature release maintains a strong cybersecurity posture by scheduling your monthly and quarterly pen tests with our easy-to-use BlueBox platform.
What Is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Mobile applications interact with your system data and are often the targets for hacking attempts given their wide-spread, easy-to-download nature. Mobile app pen testing can be a complex process as it involves a wide range of variables, differing mobile operating system architectures, and coding language specific parameters.
Benefits Of Working With CYBRI
Work with the nation’s top web app pen testing experts to detect vulnerabilities before hackers do.
U.S.-Based Red Team
All CYBRI Red Team members are U.S.-based, experienced, and highly certified web application penetration testers.
BlueBox Dashboard & Reporting
Easy access to clean and concise web application penetration testing reports that can be shared among your executive and technical teams.
Transparent Process
We value visibility and transparency. Use our cloud-based platform to follow the web application penetration testing progress and take action as our team detects new vulnerabilities.
Maximizing Value Of Mobile Application Penetration Testing
User Role/Authenticated Testing
Data storage and reverse engineering
Our experts will look for artifacts on the mobile platforms that could reveal sensitive data, expose components, or otherwise inform malicious actors as to the nature of the application. This can also be called forensic pen testing, as it leverages digital forensic techniques.
Communication Security Testing
API
API testing is often done in conjunction with Mobile penetration tests. APIs can be a weak vector into any organization that doesn’t check its security. We leverage OWASP’s research to find the most common attack vectors.

What Our Customers Have to Say
Why You Need It:
- Functionality releases – Ensure each release of your application is secure as they get released, as opposed to waiting. Get tested before your release goes public and an attacker can attempt to reverse engineer it.
- Compliance - Whether you need to comply with SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or other standards, getting a pen test will help you meet those requirements. It is important to ensure that your application does not leak data.
- Vendor/Customer Requests - Customers and vendors may require you to perform an application penetration testing to ensure you are secure and showcase that your organization takes the necessary measurements to protect their data. Using our methodology based on OWASP ASVS, OSSTMM, and PTES, we can give them confidence in the results of your test.
- Security Awareness - Pen testing your application will ensure you know where you stand in comparison to industry standards and get the peace of mind you need, such as knowing you have no vulnerabilities in the OWASP Top 10.
- Intrusion Prevention - Application pen testing can reduce your attack surface, which significantly reduces the likelihood of compromise. It is important to ensure that your mobile application is also secure and not a whole into the application backend.
What is manual testing?
The Attack Vectors We Test:
- Improper Platform Usage focuses on the insecure use of the underlying mobile platform, whether it is Android or IOS. This can involve the platform permissions, insecure keychain usage, or other security features.
- Insecure Data Storage is a problem for applications that handle sensitive data, such as PHI or PII. Not securing the data on the mobile device can expose it if the device is stolen or otherwise compromised.
- Insecure Communication can be found by testing how the mobile application communicates with the backend servers. This often focuses on incepting data and trying to decode or downgrade communications.
- Insecure Authentication can be an easy attack to exploit, as it attempts to directly access the mobile application’s backend servers bypassing the app itself and not requiring authentication.
- Insufficient Cryptography relies on accessing the local data in an easy to decrypt form. As mobile apps can store data on a local device, brute force attacks can go unnoticed and weak cryptography can allow malicious actors to see the data.
- Insecure Authorization can also be called privilege escalation as the goal is to take a legitimate user account and gain access to administrative or otherwise privileged areas of the app and sensitive data and functions.
- Client Code Quality are vulnerabilities in the code itself, which can include injection and buffer overflows. They are problems with how the code is implemented and run.
- Code Tampering relies on the malicious actors tricking users into using fake applications, malicious binaries, or otherwise faked resources in order to bypass the applications security. The target can be both local and remote resources and are more common than most people realize as they often go unchecked.
- Reverse Engineering is the attempt to understand how each part of the app works leveraging forensic techniques, especially malware analysis, that looks into the binaries, third-party libraries, and data storage.
- Extraneous Functionality can be exploited by a crafty attacker looking to take advantage of functionality that isn’t necessary or left over from development testing. It often is unnoticed as many features are hidden instead of being disabled.
