A mobile application penetration test is a thorough security assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities within mobile apps across platforms like Android and iOS.

This involves evaluating the app’s architecture, code, data storage, and communication channels to uncover potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Common areas of focus include insecure data storage, weak authentication, improper session handling, unencrypted data transmission, and vulnerabilities in third-party libraries or APIs. The test also examines how the app handles permissions and whether sensitive information can be accessed or leaked.

By conducting a mobile application penetration test, organisations can ensure their apps are resilient against attacks, safeguard user data, and meet industry security standards and regulations.
