Mobile Application Security Assessment

The Dell SecureWorks Mobile Application Security Assessment is a holistic, security and risk assessment of your mobile device-based application or “mobile app." The assessment is ideal for those organizations developing a mobile app for use by customers, employees and business partners and that need the confidence that the app, supporting backend infrastructure and data flows are secure and compliant.  

Business Challenge

Businesses and public organizations are using mobile-based applications in innovative and compelling ways to interact with their customers, employees and partners.

However, mobile devices and applications can increase security and compliance risks to an organization by increasing the attack surface for hackers or by inadvertently creating a risk of unauthorized access and data loss. As a result, many organizations are grappling with the issue of mobile app security and are challenged to answer the difficult questions mobile apps present. 

For instance, “How can you safely enable your customers, employees and business partners?” “How can you maintain security, minimize risk and ensure compliance while using mobile applications to enable your business?” “How does your mobile app access and interact with your network?” “How do you ensure that your customer, employee and partner data is protected?”

Solution

We can help you answer the tough questions through a comprehensive assessment of your mobile application.

The Dell SecureWorks Mobile Application Security Assessment is a holistic, security and risk assessment of your mobile application. Our assessment looks at the security and compliance risks of your entire mobile application, its associated backend systems and the interactions and data flows between them. It includes:

·       Mobile Application Security Best Practices Review: This review seeks to examine the application design and perform testing directly through the user-interface.

·       Mobile Application Technical Assessment: This assessment includes detailed manual technical testing and targeted source code review, in an effort to expose vulnerabilities which are not apparent from end-user interface testing only.

·       Web Service or API Testing: This part tests Internet-facing systems which support the mobile application. These systems are often the ones which store or provide access to the most critical information or systems.

Our team of highly knowledgeable and experienced security and risk consultants works closely with you to determine the integrity of your mobile app. We assess your mobile application from beginning to end. We paint a vision for where you need to go and provide the clear, actionable guidance to get there.
