How can Appknox's Vulnerability Assessment (VA) help identify security weaknesses in mobile apps?
Vulnerability Assessment involves employing specific test cases to pinpoint established vulnerabilities within mobile applications. These vulnerabilities are then ranked according to severity, relying on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores. The assessment scans for CVEs listed by security communities such as OWASP. It is an invaluable method for identifying potential security threats, using solely your mobile app's binary.
How does Appknox Static Application Security Testing (SAST) work?
SAST scans app binary and identifies vulnerabilities in the early stages of CI. It provides real-time feedback to fix issues before forwarding to the next SDLC phase. Appknox uses 50 test cases to scan in 2 minutes, with recommendations for resolving issues & improving compliance.
How do I run Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) using Appknox?
DAST Scanning involves testing applications for vulnerabilities through simulated external attacks, like those from potential malicious users or hackers. This occurs while the application is operational. After the simulated attack, Mobile App DAST scans for unexpected outcomes, flagging security vulnerabilities such as injection errors, path traversal, and cross-site scripting.
Appknox employs an innovative method by conducting DAST scans on actual devices within its device farm. This approach enables Appknox to evaluate apps that feature advanced elements such as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and other authenticated functionalities, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive security assessment.
What are the advantages of API Testing with Appknox, and how is it done?
The API Testing secures the vulnerable endpoints of your mobile app - and analyzes web servers, databases, and any other components interacting with your server.
The process begins with the upload of your mobile app's binary file. Subsequently, Appknox performs a static analysis to assess potential vulnerabilities. Once the static analysis is complete, the platform performs dynamic analysis and an API scan. During this phase, various vulnerabilities are detected within your app's APIs. Finally, Appknox compiles a detailed report that outlines these vulnerabilities, highlights security gaps, and provides actionable recommendations for resolving these issues, ensuring the enhanced security of your mobile app.
What steps are involved in performing Penetration Testing (PT) with Appknox?
Penetration testing is a fairly complex procedure that requires hands-on experience and can be performed by certified professionals only.
While the actual process may vary from organization to organization, a typical penetration test involves the following steps: Planning and Scope Information Collection, Vulnerability Scanning Exploitation Post-Exploitation, and Detailed Reporting Mitigation.
Additionally, it's crucial to mention that performing Vulnerability Assessment (VA) on the application is an integral part of this process. VA helps identify potential loopholes that could be exploited for business logic attacks, further enhancing the overall security assessment.
How can Appknox's Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) feature assist in managing app dependencies and security risks?
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) provides a comprehensive inventory detailing all components utilized in a mobile application, including libraries and frameworks. It also includes their associated vulnerability statuses. This invaluable resource assists in pinpointing potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited in a cyber attack, thereby bolstering supply chain security.
How frequently does Appknox's Store Monitoring scan app marketplaces to ensure real-time threat detection and response?
Appknox’s Store Monitoring scans app marketplaces by running it once every 24 hours to ensure real-time threat detection and response.
