Applying OWASP’s Mobile App Security Guidance With Confidence

The Open Web Application Security Project ®(OWASP) works to improve software security through its community-led, open-source software projects. The organization hosts local and global conferences, and it has hundreds of chapters and tens of thousands of members around the world. Zimperium is an honorable benefactor of one of the organization’s flagship projects, the OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) project.

The project developed the MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) that contains practical guidance for security teams and application architects, developers, and testers. The standard defines the qualities of a secure mobile app, providing a security model and specific requirements that need to be addressed. The project also delivered the OWASP MASTG (Mobile Application Security Testing Guide), which includes recommendations and testing procedures to verify that MASVS requirements are being addressed, as well as a handy dandy checklist bringing everything together.
