Mobile Application Security |
Posted: August 18, 2014 |
Smart phones have now almost completely replaced traditional computers. As the number of mobile users are increasing by the day, hackers are also shifting their attention to mobiles. This has made the requirement of proper security tests on mobile applications a complete necessity. Mobile application security assessments are done, in order to make mobile applications more resilient against attacks. These assessments test the application against mobile threats, based on the risk profile of the application. Mobile application security testing services offer: • Mobile Software Security Testing Mobile applications are tested intensely for vulnerabilities for the sake of protecting your valuable data. A threat profile based test case derivation is followed for your application. These threat profiles are derived from the various mobile applications that have been tested. Vulnerabilities are tested and then presented with evidences. Relevant solutions are also recommended for fixing these vulnerabilities and afterwords the mobile application is retested. After the completion of mobile application security assessment, a detailed report is presented, which will highlight the weaknesses in the system and help the organization for further tests on their mobile application security. This report helps in fixing each identified vulnerability. The benefits of mobile application security testing services include your application being tested against threats by the most skilled testers and best security standards. Accurate results are provided by automated as well as manual approach. Early identification because of proactive testing ensures confidence in the application. These mobile application security assessments ensure that your organization is certified of meeting the mobile security requirements. Mobile application security testing services include: Security Testing as a service: This identifies vulnerabilities which were previously undisclosed in any type of hardware and software. This service includes Threat Modeling, Dynamic Application Security Testing, Static application Security Testing, Penetration Testing, Vendor Assessments, Secure Remediation Help desk, Security Architecture Survey, Mobile Software Security Testing and Manual Auditing. Penetration Testing: This is proactively assessing the security of an IT infrastructure. It is done by exploiting system vulnerabilities like a hacker. Incorrect configurations, unsafe end-user behavior, application flaws, etc, are exploited in order to test the defense mechanism of the IT Infrastructure. Mobile Application Security: A comprehensive mobile security solution is deployed which includes private cloud file sharing, centralized control over user accounts and content, securing containers for business data, centralized monitoring and reporting, encryption of all content, integration with data leak prevention systems, AV scanning, integration with enterprise content management systems, etc. Software Security Practices: Several processes are utilized in software security development, including implementation of Secure Development Life-cycle and secure coding. One of the important steps is integrating services and testing tools into the software development cycle, which allow developers to scan codes, model applications and checking quality of software. Security issues are found and fixed through automated secure development testing tools.
