NowSecure, a standards-based mobile app security and privacy software company, has launched NowSecure Mobile Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS). The company says this helps to bridge the gap between automated and manual mobile security assessments for continuous security.

Designed to provide mobile developers and security teams with a cost-effective and efficient pen testing solution, NowSecure PTaaS combines periodic manual assessments with automated continuous testing to optimize for full coverage at a higher frequency rate.

According to the company, the Mobile PTaaS cloud-based platform offers automated continuous and manual assessments, including:

• Periodic expert pen testing based on specific need and schedule
• On-demand and continuous security testing integrated into CI/CD and development toolchain
• Automatic generation of tickets that include embedded remediation resources
• Remediation consulting with an expert pen tester
• Optional industry standard(s) validations and certifications
• All-in-one SAST, DAST, IAST, APISec and SBOM
• Dedicated SaaS platform

“Mobile apps are critically important to business because they generate revenue and connect with customers. The ongoing financial and market pressures are forcing companies to find ways to reduce costs without sacrificing speed or security,” said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. “NowSecure Mobile PTaaS helps to solve these challenges through continuous automated and periodic manual security testing for the depth of coverage needed to ensure a safe, secure mobile app as they are built – all for less than the cost of a single outsourced pen test.”
