Client background Client background

Our client is a leading player in mobile telecommunications, catering to a customer base with millions of individuals and holding a significant market share in Azerbaijan's mobile market.

Our customer wanted to expand the functionality of their telecom application with a fintech component and needed to ensure that it provides sufficient security for customer data. The company decided to conduct comprehensive security testing of the entire solution to identify any security vulnerabilities and ensure the safety of user personal data and financial transactions.

N-iX began by ensuring seamless coordination with the customer's security team to prevent service disruptions during testing. Our cybersecurity experts defined the areas to be tested and outlined the most effective testing methodologies.

Certain technological specifics of the client's application made the testing process more challenging. In particular, the application consisted of a shared front-end component and two distinct back-end components, each with its separate infrastructure and technologies. Also, the application did not support the installation of proxies. Therefore, we had to build a new version of the iOS application to overcome this challenge and intercept traffic during testing.

By conducting a thorough assessment and analysis of access handling, input handling, device storage, logic, and more, we have helped the client identify vulnerabilities within their mobile solution. As a result, we have prepared and executed a PoC exploit for the identified vulnerabilities and provided a security report.
