MATRIX
Compliance Mapping
We have enhanced MATRIX by tagging each Check and Artifact with corresponding mobile security compliance standards. This provides greater clarity and traceability during security assessments.
Supported Standards Include:
- OWASP MASTG: The Mobile Application Security Testing Guide defines best practices and test cases for mobile app security testing on iOS and Android.
- OWASP MASWE: The Mobile Application Security Weakness Enumeration lists common security and privacy weaknesses in mobile applications.
- CVE: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures is a database of publicly known vulnerabilities.
- CWE: The Common Weakness Enumeration categorizes underlying weaknesses that can lead to vulnerabilities. MITRE maintains the CVE and CWE, sponsored by the U.S. DHS.
Split APK Support
- MATRIX now supports Split APKs, Google Play’s method for reducing app size by dividing apps into smaller components. Previously, scans failed on Corellium devices with Split APK installations. This update enables full security testing for apps using this delivery method.
