Mobile App Cybersecurity: The Growing Threat Landscape and Solutions by HyperG Smart Security highlights the surge in cybersecurity threats faced by mobile apps on both Android and iOS platforms. The 2023 Global Mobile Threat Report by Zimperium revealed a significant increase in critical vulnerabilities in Android apps, while Apple iOS saw a rise in zero-day vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild.
One common oversight in mobile app development identified by OWASP is the absence of memory protection against debugging, leaving apps vulnerable to unauthorized access and data extraction. HyperG Smart Security’s General Manager, Allen Lin, emphasizes the importance of staying ahead of threats in the dynamic world of mobile apps.
HyperG Smart Security identifies major vulnerabilities in the mobile app threat landscape, including reverse engineering, anti-debugging, lack of encryption, and integrity protection. To address these issues, developers can turn to solutions like appGuard Security-as-a-Service, which offers robust encryption and protection without modifying the app’s source code.
When selecting security tools for mobile app development, it is crucial to consider support for both iOS and Android, compliance with MAS or OWASP criteria, and robust encryption standards. HyperG’s appGuard solution offers developers a powerful tool to safeguard their source code and protect against various threats.
In addition to security-as-a-service solutions, HyperG Smart Security also provides security testing services using a range of physical mobile phones to ensure thorough testing of apps during the development cycle. By focusing on developing cyber security technologies, HyperG Smart Security aims to be a leading provider of cyber security services in the smart technology industry.
