NowSecure Unveils First Automated OWASP MASVS v2.1 Mobile App Security and New Privacy Testing

Published

on

–News Direct–

NowSecure, the leader in mobile security and privacy testing, today raised the level of protection available to safeguard enterprise mobile app portfolios with the industrys first automated solution for the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) version 2.1. Available from within NowSecure Platform, customers can comprehensively test to the MASVS v2.1 industry standard easily demonstrating to stakeholders that their mobile apps uphold the highest levels of security and user privacy.

The OWASP MASVS v2.1 serves as the global standard for mobile application security and defines a set of requirements and best practices for secure mobile app development. It includes a new category supported by the NowSecure Platform, MASVS-PRIVACY. These controls provide mobile app development and security teams with much-needed visibility into the privacy implications of their mobile apps to meet app store requirements and meet the challenge of the intensifying scrutiny of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

"With the new privacy category, we're now able to address cases not covered by traditional security testing, said Carlos Holguera, OWASP MAS project lead and senior mobile security research engineer for NowSecure. The support inside NowSecure Platform is critical for our customers."

While data security focuses on protecting data from unauthorized access, privacy focuses on the rights of users regarding data collection, processing, storage and sharing. For example, imagine that an app transmits encrypted data securely, but that data contains highly sensitive personal information thats sent to outside parties without user consent. The new privacy controls ensure this and other privacy failures are prevented, Holguera explained.

The new OWASP-MASVS v2.1 controls featured in NowSecure Platform include:

  • MASVS-PRIVACY-1: Minimizes access to sensitive data and resources
  • MASVS-PRIVACY-2: Prevents user identification
  • MASVS-PRIVACY-3: Ensures/promotes transparency in data collection and usage
  • MASVS-PRIVACY-4: Provides user control over personal data

As an OWASP MAS Advocate and industry leader, NowSecure has extensively contributed to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Project (MAS) and championed creation of OWASP MASVS-PRIVACY. "This new category is the result of extensive expert-driven research across the industry. It aligns with, and goes beyond the shift toward protecting user privacy started by Apple and Google, said Holguera.

Security and privacy go hand in hand in new OWASP MASVS findings and report in NowSecure Platform and the NowSecure OWASP MASVS Pen Testing Service leverage best-in-class test automation and expertise to ensure that your app remains fully compliant across all eight MASVS domains:

  • MASVS-STORAGE
  • MASVS-CRYPTO
  • MASVS-AUTH
  • MASVS-NETWORK
  • MASVS-PLATFORM
  • MASVS-CODE
  • MASVS-RESILIENCE
  • MASVS-PRIVACY

NowSecure recently published a benchmark report revealing 95% of mobile apps fail to meet the OWASP MASVS v1.0 standard and released a guide on common secure coding mistakes, helping developers bridge the gap and enhance their security practices.

The NowSecure Platform OWASP MASVS report delivers a concise view of passed and unmet requirements and indicates if a requirement needs manual review. Mobile app security, development and GRC teams can consult the report to quickly identify areas of improvement for their mobile app testing programs. Once the app meets the MASVS v2.1 requirements, NowSecure Platform can also generate a letter of attestation to demonstrate that the app is secure and respects user privacy.

The new OWASP MASVS report will be available to NowSecure Platform customers, allowing them to incorporate the latest advancements in mobile app security and privacy testing within their development workflows. To experience NowSecure Platform and benchmark your mobile apps against the OWASP MASVS, request a demo today.

North Bay Resources CEO Jared Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the company's latest milestone: a 50/50 joint venture earn-in agreement with MGX Minerals concerning the Fran Gold Project in British Columbia. Positioned just 20 miles from Centerra Golds Mt. Milligan Copper, Gold Mine, the Fran Gold Project holds strategic significance in proximity to established mining operations.

Lazerson elaborated on the project's progress, highlighting the extensive exploration efforts conducted thus far. Over 50,000 feet of diamond drilling has been completed across 104 holes, primarily focused on the Bullion Alley Zone. Through these endeavors, a significant gold deposit has been delineated, spanning 3,700 feet in length, with widths of up to 120 feet, and depths exceeding 700 feet.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, North Bay Resources stands to earn a 30% interest upon completing a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and successfully mining and milling 2,500 ounces of gold within 12 months. Subsequently, an additional 20% interest will be earned for the extraction of another 2,500 ounces of gold within 24 months. Moreover, if North Bay Resources invests over $2,500,000 in direct expenditures on the project, it will secure a 50% interest. The timelines for these milestones will commence upon the completion of necessary engineering assessments and the issuance of required permits, with North Bay serving as the project operator.

The joint venture agreement marks a significant step forward for North Bay Resources

Demonstrating its versatility and relevance, xData has been adopted by over 20 ecosystems and projects for AI data collection and social growth.

In summary, DIN is more than just a company; it’s a movement. With a steadfast commitment to its mission, DIN is aimed at redefining the AI data space through innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity. By creating a more transparent, efficient, and inclusive AI data ecosystem, DIN is setting a new standard for the AI and crypto industry.
