mobile app security

Mobile applications account for 70% of global interactions, with over 6.8 billion smartphone users. In 2023, 40% of data breaches are linked to vulnerabilities in mobile applications. The OWASP Mobile Top 10 outlines critical security risks for mobile apps, including: 1. Improper Credential Usage: Mishandling of passwords and session tokens. 2. Inadequate Supply Chain Security: Risks from unverified third-party components. 3. Insecure Authentication/Authorization: Failures in verifying user identities. 4. Insufficient Input/Output Validation: Lack of checks on incoming and outgoing data. 5. Insecure Communication: Unprotected data during transmission. 6. Inadequate Privacy Controls: Poor safeguards for personal data. 7. Insufficient Binary Protections: Lack of defenses against reverse engineering. 8. Security Misconfiguration: Improperly secured application settings. 9. Insecure Data Storage: Weak protection of sensitive information on devices. 10. Insufficient Cryptography: Use of weak or improperly implemented encryption. AutoSecT, an AI-driven mobile app security testing platform, detects these risks through various methods, including static code analysis, software composition analysis, and dynamic testing. It helps developers identify and mitigate vulnerabilities effectively.
