Overview
Mobile Application Security Testing evaluates Android and iOS applications for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, especially in apps that integrate with cloud platforms like AWS. As mobile apps commonly rely on backend cloud services for data storage, authentication, and API communication, any weakness in this chain can expose sensitive user data and core business systems.
We assess how mobile apps interact with device features, OS-level permissions, and third-party/cloud services including AWS components like API Gateway, Cognito, S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB. Our testing examines data handling, secure storage, authentication flows, session management, and API security, with a special focus on AWS-powered mobile backends.
Risks we commonly uncover include:
- Insecure AWS API usage (e.g., hardcoded credentials or tokens)
- Improper integration with Amazon Cognito for user authentication
- Misconfigured S3 buckets or insecure data uploads
- Weak encryption of data sent to or from AWS Lambda functions
- Unprotected communication over API Gateway endpoints
- Lack of security checks when calling AWS AppSync or GraphQL APIs
Our methodology blends automated analysis, dynamic testing, static code review, and testing on both emulators and real devices. We simulate real-world attacks to detect issues like:
- Insecure data storage
- Reverse engineering vulnerabilities
- Insecure communication and weak TLS setups
- Broken authentication or session management
- Insecure cloud integrations (e.g., over-permissive IAM roles or insecure SDK use)
We follow industry-leading standards such as:
- OWASP Mobile Top 10
- OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG)
- AWS Mobile Security Best Practices
- Compliance standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001
By conducting Mobile Application Security Testing especially for AWS-integrated apps we help organizations:
- Protect sensitive user and enterprise data
- Prevent API abuse and cloud misconfigurations
- Ensure secure cloud-mobile communication
- Meet compliance mandates and secure SDLC best practices
- Deliver resilient and trusted applications to end users
This testing is essential not only for securing the app itself but also for safeguarding the cloud-based infrastructure it relies on.
Highlights
- Mobile Application Security Testing for Android and iOS apps to detect vulnerabilities in data handling, permissions, APIs, and platform-specific features.
- Real-world penetration testing using automated and manual methods to identify risks like insecure storage, weak authentication, and data leaks.
- Aligned with OWASP Mobile Top 10, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and MSTG standards to ensure complete and compliant mobile app security.
