Mobile security has come a long way over the last few years. It has transitioned from “should it be done?” to “it must be done!”Alongside the growing number of devises and applications, there is also a growth in the volume of Personally identifiable information (PII), Financial Data, and much more. This data needs to be secured.
This is why Pen-testing is so important to modern application developers. You need to know how to secure user data, and find vulnerabilities and loopholes in your application that might lead to security breaches.
This book gives you the necessary skills to security test your mobile applications as a beginner, developer, or security practitioner. You’ll start by discovering the internal components of an Android and an iOS application. Moving ahead, you’ll understand the inter-process working of these applications. Then you’ll set up a test environment for this application using various tools to identify the loopholes and vulnerabilities in the structure of the applications. Finally, after collecting all information about these security loop holes, we’ll start securing our applications from these threats.
