In our increasingly interconnected world, mobile applications have become indispensable tools for accessing a vast array of services and sensitive data. This post provides an in-depth exploration of mobile application authentication, grounded in the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), with a particular focus on MASVS-AUTH.

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) is a unified intelligence layer that transforms scattered security data into actionable business insights. Why should you care about this new security approach when you already have a working structure in place? To understand this, let’s first look at the security approach that enterprises usually follow and why it is dated.

In the first blog of the KMM series, we introduced Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) and its cross-platform advantages. In this part, we go deeper into mobile security in KMM apps, focusing on: But, before that, let’s quickly recap what KMM is. Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) enables developers to write shared code for both Android and iOS, while still maintaining platform-specific implementations where necessary. For the sake of simplicity, we have divided this blog into two sections.

In July 2025, Tea Dating Advice—an app designed to help women vet dating partners—was thrust into the spotlight after a catastrophic data breach. International publications, including BBC, NPR, and The New York Times, reported that over 72,000 user images and 1.1 million private messages were leaked, exposing deeply sensitive information about more than 1.6 million users. The breach affected users who joined before February 2024 due to a failure to migrate legacy data to secure storage.

One of the major Kotlin Multiplatform use cases is sharing code between mobile platforms. You can share application logic between iOS and Android apps and write platform-specific code only when you need to implement a native UI or work with platform APIs.

Choosing the wrong AST (Application Security Testing) platform doesn't just waste your budget. It leads to: In its latest research, “How to Avoid Common Pitfalls in Selecting Application Security Testing Tools,” Gartner highlights the five most common mistakes security leaders make when evaluating AST platforms. In this blog, we break down Gartner’s key insights and share what teams should look for when choosing a tool that works in the real world.

In a year defined by AI-driven transformation, Gartner’s 2025 Hype Cycle for Application Security couldn’t have come at a better time. The report outlines a seismic shift in how security leaders approach modern threats, and we are proud to share that Appknox has been recognized as a sample vendor in this year’s edition.
