Specialized talent

The Cobalt Core of 500+ vetted pentesters have an average of 11 years of experience. You get specialists who know how iOS and Android actually break, not a generalist running a checklist.

Exploitable findings, not scanner noise

Human judgment, accelerated by AI and informed by the industry's largest offensive security dataset, determines what is truly exploitable. Every finding is an exploitable vulnerability with reproduction steps and remediation guidance.

Audit-ready proof on demand

Generate customizable reports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, to show proof of mobile security to auditors and customers.

The reports were incredibly clear, showing us exactly what was tested and the results. That level of detail made it easy to work with our data science team to quickly resolve vulnerabilities and help us understand our own application better.

What is mobile application penetration testing?

Mobile application penetration testing is a controlled, authorized assessment of an iOS or Android app to find and confirm exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Unlike web testing, it evaluates the app on real devices and focuses on mobile-specific risks such as insecure local data storage, certificate pinning, inter-process communication, and platform controls. Cobalt delivers testing through elite Cobalt Core pentesters.

How is mobile app pentesting different from web app pentesting?

Mobile apps run on the device, outside your perimeter, and store data locally to stay fast. That creates risks web testing does not cover: insecure data storage on the file system, insecure snapshots, certificate pinning that must be bypassed, and platform-specific controls that differ between iOS and Android. Mobile testing also requires real jailbroken and rooted devices rather than emulators. Mobile apps still share APIs and authentication with your backend, so Cobalt tests those shared surfaces as well.

What methodology does Cobalt use for mobile pentesting?

Cobalt uses an industry-leading methodology informed by OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard), combined with the expertise of the Cobalt Core. Testing covers platform-specific controls on iOS and Android, real-device testing, certificate pinning bypass, web traffic interception, data storage analysis, static analysis of the application binary, and awareness of native, hybrid, and progressive app architectures.
