MAST New 2025

MAST helps you quickly find & solve security issues in your mobile app’s code and dependencies based on established security frameworks like OWASP and MASVS.

Automated testing

MAST tools scan your application code for vulnerabilities so that development teams can identify security risks as early as possible in your SDLC.

Prevents future attacks by guessing the behaviors of attackers and anticipating their moves

MAST tools can detect high-risk app vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, buffer overflows, cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgeries.

Complementary toolset

The most frequently recommended mobile application security testing tools are SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA and fuzzing tools.

Mobile SAST

SAST tools scan application source code to identify vulnerabilities, running early in the CI/CD pipeline or even as an IDE plugin while coding.

Mobile DAST

DAST tools check security at runtime by testing common attack types against the running application and are based on external assumptions only.

Mobile IAST

IAST tools blend white box and black box testing, checking security at runtime via application scanning and analyzing internal application flows.

Mobile SCA

SCA tools track third-party code dependencies, which is helpful for apps that incorporate many open-source libraries.

Mobile fuzzing tools

Fuzzing tools automatically inject invalid or unexpected inputs into an application to expose bugs.

MAST best practices

Use multiple testing methods to ensure they fit well into your CI/CD pipeline, cover the necessary mobile app programming languages, and lower the total number of false positives.
