Mobile application penetration testing is a specialist activity that validates the security controls of your mobile applications and identifies vulnerabilities for remediation.
Our team of specialist penetration testers’ goal is to identify security flaws in custom written mobile applications, its interaction with the device platform (Android/iOS), the communication between the application and the server-side systems (API’s, Web Applications etc.), as well as broader interaction with the corporate or consumer ecosystems that control authentication, authorisation and mobile device management.
