SUZU Offensive Security Solutions

Mobile Penetration Testing

Find the flaws attackers use to compromise iOS and Android apps before they reach your users. Suzu Labs tests mobile apps, APIs, and backends together so you can ship updates with confidence.

Mobile Penetration Testing Services

Mobile applications evolve quickly, and even minor updates can introduce significant security risks, from broken authentication and insecure data storage to weak API protections and vulnerable third-party SDKs. We help security teams identify real-world attack paths across the mobile application, supporting APIs, and cloud infrastructure, enabling you to strengthen security without slowing development.

Hardware Hacking

This usually comes up when something is on the line. A new device launch, customer trust, or protecting intellectual property.

We evaluate the security of your hardware and embedded systems to ensure they can’t be easily exploited, cloned, or manipulated in the real world.

  • When you’re shipping devices or relying on connected technology, unseen risks can lead to real consequences. From customer trust issues to expensive fixes. We help you catch those issues before they impact your business.
  • What We Hack: SCADA, IoT, OT, Vehicles, Embedded Systems.

Questions

Mobile Penetration Testing FAQs

We test iOS and Android apps, including native, hybrid, and cross-platform builds. We tailor the approach based on your release model, user base, and risk objectives.

 

Yes. Mobile testing is most valuable when paired with API validation. We follow trust relationships from the app into the services it depends on and document end-to-end attack paths.

The goal is to catch bypasses, not just policy misconfigurations.

We prioritize safety and coordination. Testing is performed with agreed guardrails, and we'll recommend a staging or test tenant when production risk is high.

You'll receive a clear report with technical evidence, risk context, and fix guidance plus a debrief to align remediation with your team's priorities.

Most mobile engagements run one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the application, the number of platforms (iOS, Android, or both), and how many authenticated user roles need testing. We provide a clear timeline during scoping. If we discover a critical finding that poses an imminent threat, we escalate it to your team immediately.

We typically need the application binary (IPA for iOS, APK for Android), test accounts for each user role, and access to any staging or test environments the app connects to. If the app requires specific device configurations, MDM enrollment, or provisioning profiles, we coordinate that during scoping so testing can start without delays.

Yes. We assess whether the application detects jailbroken or rooted devices and whether those controls can be bypassed. We also test whether bypassing those controls exposes additional attack surface, such as access to unencrypted local storage, debugging interfaces, or runtime manipulation that would otherwise be blocked.

The report is the beginning, not the end. You get a live debrief with the operators who ran the engagement, walking through every finding, its real-world impact, and specific remediation steps. If your team needs hands-on help remediating, we can work alongside your engineers to close the gaps. Once fixes are in place, we conduct retesting to verify they’re resolved.

Mobile Pentesting vs. Web Application Pentesting

Mobile Pentesting Web Application Pentesting
Scope iOS and Android applications, supporting APIs, backend services, and device-level security controls The web application itself, including its APIs, authentication flows, business logic, and integrations
Attack Surface Local storage, device permissions, insecure data caching, mobile APIs, reverse engineering User inputs, session handling, business logic, API integrations
Common Vulnerabilities Hardcoded credentials, insecure local storage, certificate pinning bypass, weak encryption SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, broken access controls, logic flaws
Testing Approach Static and dynamic analysis, traffic interception, runtime manipulation, reverse engineering Simulated real-world web attacks targeting application workflows
Authentication & Authorization Tests token storage, biometric integrations, session persistence, mobile-specific auth flows Tests login systems, cookies, session controls, and role-based access
Best for Organizations with native or hybrid mobile apps connected to backend systems Organizations operating customer-facing portals, SaaS platforms, or web apps

Verified expertise

Validate defenses. Reduce exposure.

Penetration Testing

What It Is: We don't just scan for vulnerabilities; we exploit them safely to prove where your defenses might fail. Our offensive security experts simulate real-world attacks to identify complex misconfigurations and logic flaws across your entire infrastructure.

 

  • Full-Spectrum Testing: Deep dives into web apps, internal/external networks, and cloud environments.
  • Risk-Based Analysis: Understand exactly how an attacker could move laterally through your systems.
  • Continuous Validation: Transition from periodic "check-the-box" audits to a culture of constant defensive improvement.
  • What We Test: Web-App, Mobile App, API, External Network, Internal Network, WIFI, Cloud, IoT, Physical.

Hardware Hacking

What It Is: Modern attacks don’t stop at software. We analyze firmware, embedded systems, and IoT devices to uncover security gaps at the hardware level. From side-channel testing to reverse engineering, our hardware security services safeguard critical infrastructure and consumer technology alike.

  • Move beyond software patches by identifying vulnerabilities in firmware and embedded systems that traditional scanners miss, ensuring your hardware is secure from the first boot.
  • We simulate advanced attack vectors like side-channel analysis and reverse engineering to ensure your critical infrastructure and consumer tech can withstand hands-on exploitation.
  • Protect your brand and your users by uncovering hidden gaps in interconnected devices, preventing your hardware from becoming an easy entry point for larger network breaches.
  • What We Hack: SCADA, IoT, OT, Vehicles, Embedded Systems.

OFFENSE AND DEFENSE SYNERGY

Purple Team Exercises

What It Is: High-impact collaborative engagements where our offensive experts (Red) and defensive (Blue) teams work side by side to test detection and response capabilities, turning findings into immediate improvements.

  • Targeted Exploitation: We move beyond basic scanning to emulate specific TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) used by modern threat actors, ensuring your defenses are tested against actual adversary behavior.
  • Closing the Detection Gap: By mapping offensive actions to your specific security telemetry in real-time, we identify exactly where visibility fails and provide the code-level fixes to bridge those gaps.
  • Operational Resilience: We don't just find vulnerabilities; we use offensive data to build "detection-as-code," giving your team the playbooks needed to stop sophisticated lateral movement and data exfiltration.

PROVING DEFENSIVE EFFICACY

ThreatSIM — Attack Simulation & Service Validation

What It Is: ThreatSIM is our proprietary platform designed to simulate MITRE ATT&CK®–based adversary behaviors safely within client environments. Unlike point-in-time tests, ThreatSIM continuously validates the effectiveness of your security stack, your SOC, and your MSSP’s detection and response capabilities.

  • Move beyond static testing with ongoing simulations that verify your security stack, SOC, and MSSP are detecting and blocking threats in real time.
  • Safely emulate real-world adversary behaviors within your environment to ensure your defenses are tuned against the most current and relevant global attack tactics.
  • Eliminate guesswork by gathering concrete data on how well your existing tools and service providers perform, allowing you to bridge gaps before a real breach occurs.
