Mobile app supply chains are under attack. Compromised SDKs, libraries, and CI/CD tools can silently exfiltrate data, leak IP, and breach trust before detection. Every dependency is a potential attack vector.
Viral call recording app, Neon, went offline abruptly after a security flaw exposing user PII and call recording data was discovered. Learn what went wrong for Neon, cybersecurity lessons for apps and start-ups, and how Quokka helps apps and companies secure data with mobile app risk intelligence.
An analysis found that over 150 popular apps, some with more than 100 million downloads, are exposing sensitive user data due to misconfigured Google Firebase services. This Firebase misconfiguration incident underscores just how deeply mobile apps are embedded in complex ecosystems and how easy it is for a single weak link to expose sensitive data.
The mobile threat landscape is evolving faster than ever. While MTD remains an important tool for detecting device-level threats, it cannot address the full spectrum of app-level risks. See how mobile app vetting fills the security gaps of MTD.
As per Gartner, “This Hype Cycle tracks the maturity and adoption of processes and technologies that can help organizations advance their application security programs.” This report includes a category named Mobile application security testing (AST) in which Quokka is listed as a sample vendor for the fourth year in a row.
Gartner’s “How to Avoid Common Cybersecurity Pitfalls in Mobile App Development” mentions Quokka as a vendor offering mobile application security testing (AST).
Most federal mobile security strategies stop at device management—leaving a dangerous blind spot for data-harvesting apps already installed on government devices. To stay ahead of today’s mobile threats, agencies must go beyond MDM with continuous app vetting, proactive risk detection, and real visibility into where sensitive data is actually going.
For effective mobile app security, executives must take the lead by prioritizing and investing in security measures, especially as the mobile attack surface expands in both size and complexity. Rather than constantly reacting to threats and managing the consequences of data breaches, organizations can adopt preventative mobile application security strategies to mitigate risks before they manifest.
With third-party breaches on the rise, vendor security isn’t a box to check–it’s a critical part of your overall cybersecurity strategy. SOC 2 is independent validation that Quokka operates with the kind of rigor modern mobile security demands.
