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 helps mobile security and AppSec compliance teams identify these mobile security vulnerabilities before they become major breaches.
Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) refers to a suite of static and dynamic tests designed to uncover vulnerabilities in mobile apps across iOS and Android. Corellium MATRIX automates MAST in alignment with the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MASTG), making it easier for teams to embed security in their CI/CD workflows.
Unlike traditional SAST/DAST tools, MATRIX is built for mobile, powered by Corellium’s ARM-native virtualization platform, and runs on real mobile OS binaries, not emulators.
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.
With the average cost of a data breach hovering around $10 million, data breach prevention is not optional; it is a necessary precaution that every organization involved with mobile applications must prioritize. Here are the most common mobile app security threats teams should address:
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.
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.
Corellium’s game changing technology runs hundreds of automated security tests in minutes across seven categories, all with just 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.
Corellium MATRIX extends beyond app-level analysis. With Corellium’s CHARM hypervisor, you can emulate secure boot and test firmware-level threats—something that’s simply not possible with most cloud testing platforms or traditional emulators.
MATRIX makes it easy to run tests as often as needed, across multiple OS versions and app states. Whether you're preparing for a PCI DSS, HIPAA, or GDPR audit, MATRIX provides:
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.
Corellium’s mobile security platform aims to provide security professionals with the most comprehensive tools available to ensure secure mobile apps.
The Corellium Virtual Hardware platform seamlessly virtualizes a near limitless combination of devices and operating systems (iOS/Android). The virtualization is so comprehensive that you can access every aspect of the device and software, thoroughly testing your mobile app for vulnerabilities.
Comprehensive mobile app security testing allows you to prevent mobile security breaches by identifying vulnerabilities before deployment. Corellium is an all-in-one solution offering an entirely virtualized platform, built-in security tools to not only test apps, but also investigate vulnerabilities discovered, and share them with other teams for remediation. The new MATRIX automation technology helps accelerate software development cycles even further.
Corellium saves you money by eliminating the need to maintain a fleet of physical devices. You can spin up a new device within seconds and begin testing immediately. Book a meeting to learn more.
