Secure your app, protect your users, and build trust with expert mobile penetration testing.
At COE Security, our Mobile Application Penetration Testing service is designed to uncover vulnerabilities across iOS and Android apps by simulating real-world attacks. As mobile apps become a primary channel for user engagement, data access, and business operations, they also become a lucrative target for cybercriminals. We help organizations identify security flaws that could lead to data leakage, unauthorized access, or compromised user privacy.
Our testing methodology follows OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) standards and covers both client-side and server-side vulnerabilities. We dive deep into the mobile ecosystem—from the app’s source code and APIs to storage, communication channels, and runtime behavior.
With COE Security’s Mobile Application Penetration Testing, you gain comprehensive visibility into mobile security risks, enabling you to protect users, brand reputation, and business data.
COE Security’s Mobile Application Penetration Testing combines static, dynamic, and runtime analysis for full-spectrum security assurance. Our service includes:
Scoping and Planning: Defining the testing scope, platform (iOS/Android), and objectives based on app functionality, data sensitivity, and threat model.
Static Analysis (SAST): Reviewing the mobile application’s codebase (if available) to identify hardcoded secrets, insecure libraries, broken crypto, and improper data handling.
Dynamic Analysis (DAST): Executing the application in a controlled environment to observe runtime behavior, identify insecure storage, traffic interception, and unintended data exposure.
API and Backend Testing: Testing mobile app communications with backend services and APIs to uncover authentication issues, broken access controls, data leakage, and injection flaws.
Authentication and Session Testing: Assessing how the app manages user authentication, token storage, session timeout, and logout mechanisms to prevent hijacking.
Reverse Engineering and Tampering: Attempting to decompile, modify, or repackage the app to test resistance against code tampering, obfuscation, and root/jailbreak bypasses.
Insecure Data Storage Review: Checking for sensitive data stored on the device—such as credentials, tokens, or personal information—in plaintext or insecure locations.
Certificate Pinning and SSL/TLS Testing: Verifying the implementation of secure communications, resistance to MITM attacks, and proper validation of server certificates.
Business Logic and Abuse Testing: Identifying flaws in workflows or app logic that attackers could exploit for financial gain, fraud, or privilege escalation.
Reporting and Remediation Support: Delivering a detailed, OWASP-aligned report with severity-ranked findings, PoC screenshots, and clear remediation guidance.
Our established pentest methodology delivers comprehensive testing and actionable recommendations.
Mobile applications are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, making robust penetration testing essential. Our Application Penetration Testing service assesses your mobile apps for security vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. We simulate real-world attacks to uncover flaws such as insecure data storage, weak encryption, improper session management, and unauthorized access points. By identifying these vulnerabilities, we help you patch them before they can be exploited, ensuring your mobile applications are secure and your users’ data remains protected. This testing process provides actionable insights for enhancing the security of your mobile apps, keeping them resilient against potential threats.
Our Penetration Testing as a Service offering is a comprehensive and ongoing solution designed to test the security of your mobile applications and infrastructure. This service involves continuous testing, simulating various attack vectors to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that could compromise the integrity of your mobile environment. With a focus on both internal and external threats, our approach ensures that your mobile applications and networks are secure from evolving cyber threats. By incorporating regular, scheduled penetration tests into your security strategy, we help you stay ahead of emerging risks and maintain a proactive defense against potential breaches.
Mobile applications frequently rely on APIs to communicate with back-end systems, making API security critical. Our API Penetration Testing service focuses on testing the APIs your mobile apps depend on for vulnerabilities that can expose sensitive data or enable unauthorized access. We evaluate the authentication, authorization, input validation, and data encryption of your APIs to uncover weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. By performing comprehensive API testing, we help ensure that your APIs are secure and cannot be leveraged to compromise your mobile applications, protecting your data and users from malicious actors.
Security consulting plays a vital role in ensuring that mobile applications are built with security in mind from the ground up. Our Application Security Consulting service guides your development teams in implementing secure coding practices, identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities, and ensuring your apps meet industry standards. We focus on integrating security into every phase of the mobile app development lifecycle, from design to deployment. Through secure architecture, threat modeling, and vulnerability assessments, we help your team build mobile apps that are resilient against the most common and emerging security threats, ensuring a secure user experience.
As mobile apps increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure, ensuring the security of the cloud environment is crucial. Our Cloud Security Consulting service helps assess and strengthen the security of cloud services that support your mobile applications. We focus on securing data in transit and at rest, configuring proper access controls, and ensuring that cloud services adhere to best practices for security and compliance. With a focus on cloud security risks such as misconfigurations, insufficient monitoring, and unauthorized access, we provide the guidance and tools necessary to ensure your mobile app’s back-end infrastructure is as secure as the app itself.
COE Security empowers your organization with on-demand expertise to uncover vulnerabilities, remediate risks, and strengthen your security posture. Our scalable approach enhances agility, enabling you to address current challenges and adapt to future demands without expanding your workforce.
