A New Framework to Automate MSTG and MASVS in Your CI/CD Pipeline

Explore a new framework for automating OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) in CI/CD pipelines. Learn how to address mobile security challenges in Agile and DevOps environments by implementing automated, repeatable security tests for each release. Discover techniques for detecting vulnerabilities early, improving developer understanding of security, and allowing penetration testers to focus on more sophisticated attack patterns. Examine the combination of existing penetration testing frameworks, UI automation, and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to create comprehensive security tests covering areas like encrypted PII, input validation, cryptography, and network security. Gain practical insights on writing, executing, and integrating these tests into CI/CD pipelines, and learn how to retrieve test results and trigger automatic tests when manual penetration tests uncover flaws.
