Mobile apps are now an expected convenience and therefore business-critical for organizations to engage with and serve their customers. As a result, app functionality has become more sophisticated in order to handle a wide range of sensitive data, including personal identifiable information (PII), payment and banking details, intellectual property (IP) and access to corporate systems. Unfortunately, this proliferation of mobile apps has expanded the cyberattack surface. Mobile apps are often the least protected enterprise asset, opening up risk and exposure to data breaches, regulatory compliance issues, and brand damage. The diverse nature of mobile platforms and the velocity of mobile app development only amplifies these security risks.
Fortunately, organizations can incorporate mobile application security testing (MAST) into their app development lifecycle to minimize security risks. The goal is to identify and proactively remediate issues related to coding, design, packaging, deployment, and runtime circumstances before deployment.
First released in 2014 and then updated in 2016 and 2024, The OWASP Mobile Top 10 offers a detailed look at the top ten most critical vulnerabilities that mobile apps are exposed to. Download our guide to addressing each of these risks.
Q-mast, Quokka’s automated mobile app security testing solution, enables organizations to leverage proprietary mobile security intelligence in order to:
Q-MAST offers a broad and in-depth range of tests (SAST, DAST, IAST, forced-path execution) at any stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from design to deployment.
With a design tailored for DevSecOps workflows, Q-mast supports continuous, automated security testing that aligns with tools like Jenkins, GitLab, and GitHub.
Actionable threat intelligence insights, fueled by known exploits and over a decade of proprietary original research, provide developers and analysts with the unique ability to identify and remedy vulnerabilities that other tools and app stores miss

According to Gartner's A Guidance Framework for Building an Application Security Program, “Security and risk management (SRM) technical professionals focused on application security should automate security verification and testing practices for applications.” Further, “Security must be seen as an integral part of the development processes and not a separate silo.”
