AI-powered cybersecurity firm Shinobi has announced a major expansion of its platform – the ability to penetration test mobile applications with the same skill, reasoning, and precision as human experts, but delivered continuously and at machine speed.
With phones having become vaults for employees’ digital lives, holding money, messages, health data, and work communications, attackers are increasingly targeting mobile apps.
New vulnerabilities emerge with every update
But traditional mobile app pentesting has long been manual, slow, and expensive, providing only a snapshot in time while new vulnerabilities emerge with every update.
Shinobi changes that, with its AI pentesters that understand, analyse, and exploit mobile apps the way elite human teams do – inspecting code, mapping APIs, and uncovering real attack paths.
But unlike human-led tests, Shinobi runs autonomously, continuously, and in hours instead of weeks, keeping security aligned with every release.
Shinobi's update
With this update, Shinobi enables organisations to:
- Continuously test mobile apps at the speed of development
- Detect real, exploitable vulnerabilities – including complex business logic flaws
- Reduce testing time and cost by up to 90%
Front line of business risk
“Mobile apps are so essential to everything that we do. As a result, they have become vaults for our entire lives which means they become the front line of business risk,” said Varun Uppal, Founder and CEO of Shinobi.
“Attackers are already using AI, and Shinobi helps defenders fight back, faster.”
