  • Mobile Application Security

Mobile application security involves the process of protecting mobile apps from threats and vulnerabilities that could affect their functionality, data, or user privacy.

In general mobile application security security involves;

  • App Permissions Management: Controlling and restricting users' access to certain device features and data to reduce security risks.
  • Secure Communication Protocols: Uses secure protocols, such as HTTPS, to protect data exchanged between the mobile app and backend servers.
  • Conducts security protocol: Such as HTTPS, to protect the process of data communication between the mobile app and backend servers.
  • Mobile-Specific Threats Protection: Addresses threats that might affect mobile environments, like device theft, app cloning, and reverse engineering.
  • Secure Mobile Storage: Used to protect sensitive data using techniques like encrypted storage and secure key management.

Mobile Application Security Methodology

Mobile application security follows a properly structured approach to ensure security and detect vulnerabilities.

Gather information about the app’s design, architecture, functionality, and security.

This process includes creating a detailed map of the app’s structure, URL forms, and user input points

Using automated tools to detect vulnerabilities in the app such as SQL injection or XSS (Cross Site Scripting)

Also conducts manual inspections to detect vulnerabilities that automated tools might have missed, such as logical based vulnerabilities.

This is the next step in vulnerability detection which basically evaluates the potential impact of each vulnerability detected.

This process includes if the detected vulnerabilities are valid.

This process tries to identify the actual impact of the vulnerabilities by attempting to simulate what a real attacker might do.

Tests if the detected vulnerabilities allows unauthorized users to access sensitive data

Process of concluding to what extent the attacker can cause damage.

This Process includes evaluating data access, system control, and persistence.

Summarize a report that includes the following;

  • Executive Summary: Includes an overview of detected vulnerabilities and recommendations for the company/organization.
  • Technical Details: Includes a detailed explanation of the vulnerabilities detected, exploitation methods, and impact analysis.
  • Prioritizing Risk: Ranking the detected vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and severity.
  • Recommendations: Provides solutions to fix the detected vulnerabilities and improve security standards of the organization/company.

Provides guidance to the company/organization on addressing the detected vulnerabilities and increasing security in general..

The process also verifies if the detected vulnerabilities have been taken care of and checks if any new issues have been brought up during remediation.

Implement continuous monitoring and time to time security assessments to maintain strong security standards.
