5 Questions
Name three main ways mobile AST solutions test applications?
The three main ways mobile AST solutions test applications are: (1) SAST, (2) Behavioral testing, and (3) DAST.
What does DAST stand for?
DAST stands for Dynamic Application Security Testing.
What does SAST stand for?
SAST stands for Static Application Security Testing.
What is the purpose of behavioral testing in mobile AST solutions?
The purpose of behavioral testing in mobile AST solutions is to observe the behavior of the app during runtime and identify actions that could be exploited by an attacker.
Which platforms are included in the mobile AST market?
The mobile AST market includes iOS, Android, and Windows 10 Mobile platforms.
Study Notes
Mobile Application Security Testing (AST) Market
- Composed of buyers and sellers of products and services that analyze and identify vulnerabilities in applications used with mobile platforms (iOS, Android, and Windows 10 Mobile)
- Analysis occurs during or post development
Mobile AST Solution Techniques
- Three main ways to test applications:
-
SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
- Analyze source, binary, or byte code of an application to identify vulnerabilities
- Static analysis
-
Behavioral Testing
- Observe the behavior of the app during runtime
- Identify actions that could be exploited by an attacker
-
DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
- Dynamic analysis to test the app in its runtime state
- Simulate attacks against an application and analyze its reactions
- Determine whether the application is vulnerable
-
Test your knowledge on Mobile Application Security Testing concepts, including the market, techniques, and solutions used to analyze and identify vulnerabilities in mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 Mobile platforms.
