Case Study: an automobile manufacturing company strengthens mobile app security with SoftServe

Manual Penetration Testing for Automotive Mobile App

The automobile manufacturing company, a major European vehicle producer, needed to ensure its new mobile app for vehicle connectivity and navigation was secure before its official launch. They engaged SoftServe to conduct a comprehensive manual penetration test, seeking to identify vulnerabilities and achieve compliance with security standards against potential mobile threats.

SoftServe's security team performed a manual penetration test utilizing OWASP guidelines and automated tools like IBM AppScan. Within a tight two-week timeframe, they identified critical security gaps that could have led to serious threats, including hacked access to a vehicle's computer. This prevented potential reputational damage and delivered a stable, secure application, solidifying SoftServe's role as the client's strategic security services provider.
