How does mobile app pen testing work?
During a mobile application pen test, a qualified WorkNest penetration tester acts as a hacker, using the latest tools and technologies to exploit the mobile device application. The goal is to identify, document, and prioritize all security weaknesses so they can be fixed before cybercriminals exploit them.
We use both dynamic and static application security testing (DAST and SAST) methods. SAST source-code reviews uncover coding errors that could introduce vulnerabilities, securing the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and preventing breaches from the earliest stages.
Uncover threats 24/7 with 12 months of automated vulnerability scans included with WorkNest penetration tests.
