Mobile App Security: reducing analysis time with automation

In the development world, including mobile app development, time is money. Every second spent on manual security analysis is a second that could be used to improve the app or launch new features. Fortunately, solutions like automated analysis exist, allowing you to reduce testing time and detect potential vulnerabilities during the development phase.

Why automated testing is useful for Mobile App Security?

Testing the security of a mobile app is an essential step for any company that wants to protect user data and ensure the app’s security, while also being compliant with European regulations such as NIS2 and DORA. With automated analysis, tests can be executed quickly, detecting potential vulnerabilities within minutes.

Automated analysis not only speeds up the testing process but also allows for testing multiple aspects of the application, with a particular focus on issues within the code. This way, any changes made to the code can be instantly tested without compromising development time.

How does an automated test work?

Automated analysis relies on smart tools that perform tests on applications. These tools, some of which are free app analysis tools, are capable of examining many aspects of security, primarily focusing on potential vulnerabilities in the code. Automating this process means identifying many possible weaknesses early, during the development phase, preventing known vulnerabilities from being discovered too late.

Automation and Secure App Development.

Security should never be considered as a step after the development cycle. By integrating automated analysis into your development process, you can ensure that every change or new feature is immediately tested. Adopting such a tool helps reduce release times and enables a quick response to emerging vulnerabilities. This type of tool is very effective in the early and intermediate stages of development, while in the final stages of production and pre-release, conducting dynamic analysis is the best way to ensure the application has no vulnerabilities, especially in terms of logic and interaction with other components—both within the app itself and with the devices on which the app is installed.

Protect your app without slowdowns.

With automated analysis, you can speed up the security testing process of your app. Protecting your applications is essential, and this method allows you to continuously monitor vulnerabilities without disrupting the workflow.
