Hackers are targeting mobile apps and devices more now than ever before. Security researchers say more than 75% of mobile apps on the market today have security vulnerabilities. Corellium aims to drastically reduce that statistic by helping mobile security and AppSec compliance teams identify these mobile security vulnerabilities before they become a major problem.
What Are the Most Common Data Breaches?
The most common types of data breaches in the mobile world are access control failures, malware-related incidents, phishing, social engineering, and various malicious app exploits. Other prevalent mobile threats include keylogging, authentication attacks and insider threats.
Mobile Threat Landscape: Common Attack Vectors
Mobile threats are becoming even more widespread because mobile devices have become a central part of our daily lives, serving as hubs for communication, banking, productivity and personal data. Secure mobile development is becoming even more crucial as the attack vectors mount and the attacks evolve. Corellium’s Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) technology provides an unmatched solution for mobile security and AppSec compliance teams.
Common Threats to Mobile Applications
- Data leakage
- Poor encryption
- Insecure network communications
- Malware
- Insecure APIs
- Improper authentication
- Insecure data storage
With the average cost of a data breach hovering around $9.5 million, data breach prevention is not optional; it is a necessary precaution that every organization involved with mobile applications must prioritize.
Stay Ahead of Mobile App Security Threats with Corellium MATRIX
Corellium utilizes true virtualization to provide a comprehensive security testing environment, leaving no stone unturned. Corelllium’s latest technology, MATRIX, enables automated testing and reporting to accelerate the work of mobile security testing and AppSec compliance teams. It offers mobile security professionals automated vulnerability scanning, which can significantly reduce the time spent on mobile security scanning and mobile pentesting. This can alleviate up to 50% of the repetitive tasks required for every mobile app testing run, freeing up security professionals to focus on advanced vulnerability discovery where their expertise is most valuable.
Using MATRIX to Identify and Resolve Mobile App Vulnerabilities
Corellium’s game changing technology runs hundreds of automated security tests in minutes across seven categories:
- Authentication
- Code
- Cryptography
- Network
- Platform
- Storage
- Resilience
All of these tests run with a few mouse clicks.
Once the automated tests are executed, MATRIX produces a turnkey, easy to understand, mobile security report that includes pass/fail results, detailed information regarding each test, evidence identified, as well as recommended remediations. Corellium’s powerful platform can then be used to validate the identified vulnerabilities, facilitate remediation, and then quickly rerun the automated tests to validate the remediations. By automating a significant portion of security testing, Corellium MATRIX can greatly accelerate software development cycles and reduce costs.
Is MATRIX OWASP Compliant?
Corellium MATRIX is aligned with OWASP standards and the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MASTG). The innovative technology incorporates the OWASP standards and common tests to identify code weaknesses that could be exploited.
Not only can you feel more confident developing secure mobile apps, but you will also know that they comply with the most stringent security standards available today.
