Solution Offerings

Automated Mobile App Security Testing: Its goal is to identify security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and privacy risks in mobile apps whether development is in-house, outsourced, or third-party apps from public app stores. NowSecure provides automated mobile app security testing solutions that stand alone or integrate with development pipeline so one can find and fix vulnerabilities before they harm employees and customers.

Accelerate Secure Mobile DevOps:Clients can build trust with developers by delivering:

• Full "hands-free" automation
• Rapid test results in minutes, not weeks
• Plug-in integration to the SDLC with no new tools for developers to learn
• Accurate findings and developer-friendly remediation tips

Power Tools for Security Analysts: Mobile apps require purpose-built tools that enable fast, accurate, and intelligent security assessments. Mobile fragmentation presents the challenge of testing on multiple OS platforms, OS versions, devices, development languages, and even bluetooth/Wi-Ficonnected IOT. Because of mobile’s sandboxed nature, the mobile app attack surface and instrumentation techniques are fundamentally different from that of traditional web apps. With new builds released weekly or daily, overabundant false positives and two-week turnarounds just don’t cut it.

Third-Party Mobile App Risk Intelligence:The company provides unprecedented visibility into Apple’s App Store and Google Play apps with continuous security intelligence to accurately mitigate vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and privacy risks.

Mobile Application Security Services: Enterprises, government agencies, and mobile app development firms turn to the NowSecure team of experts for deep, accurate mobile application security assessments and consulting services. Its elite team of security professionals can swiftly triage urgent testing needs, provide expert training, and share best practices guidance to optimize clients’ mobile appsec testing program.
