Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) refers to the security audit of a mobile application, in order to quickly assess its state. It usually relies on frameworks (OWASP MASVS/MASTG) to define the test scope and make results comparable.
MAST notably covers the processing of personal data, network connections (Internet, cellular), malicious behaviors, and vulnerabilities.
Done well, Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) provides a clear, actionable security status to prioritize remediation, so teams address what matters first.
It reduces risk in pre-production, before exploitable vulnerabilities reach end users, and helps verify compliance with data-protection regulations.
For Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) to be useful without burdening teams, it’s recommended to follow a few practices:
Auditing from the binary code to evaluate Android and iOS with the same process, without depending on source code
Standardizing analysis criteria (vulnerabilities, behaviors, compliance) to compare over time and facilitate prioritization
Industrializing the approach with MAST in SaaS (for on-demand audits) and MAST via API (for integration in developer workflows)
