Case Study: Netflix achieves pre-release mobile security and regulatory compliance (closes 62 vulnerabilities & 24 issues) with Data Theorem

Modern AppSec for the Entertainment and DevOps Leader

Netflix, the global streaming leader, faced a DevOps-scale AppSec challenge: frequent app releases across iOS, Android and Microsoft platforms required a security solution that matched their speed, automated at scale, and caught mobile-specific privacy and security issues. After testing legacy tools and relying on internal teams, Netflix engaged Data Theorem and evaluated Data Theorem’s App Secure to provide an automated, developer-friendly security workflow.

Data Theorem implemented continuous static and dynamic scans (pre-production and store builds), provided Objective-C/Swift/Java/Kotlin code fixes and preventative code snippets, and delivered a hosted portal for developer and security visibility. As a result, Data Theorem identified and helped close 62 security issues and 24 regulatory compliance issues before public release, eliminated App Store blockers, uncovered remote-code-execution vectors, sped approvals, and reduced the burden on Netflix’s internal AppSec staff.
