Oversecured is a B2B mobile vulnerability scanner that identifies security vulnerabilities in mobile applications. It operates by analyzing both the code and the behavior of the application without requiring access to the source code, as it works with the final app file. Development teams can integrate the scanner into their release pipeline to ensure each update is automatically checked for security vulnerabilities.
Research has indicated that less than 6% of vulnerability payouts pertain to mobile apps, leading to a significant time gap where hackers often identify vulnerabilities before companies do. Currently, 82% of Android apps and 32% of iOS apps contain at least one serious security flaw. Oversecured addresses this issue by providing automated vulnerability detection, significantly reducing the time required for security reviews, as evidenced by Kavak.com's reduction from 8-16 hours to approximately 1 hour per release.
In 2025, Oversecured launched runtime testing, enhancing its capability by actively running and attacking the app to identify issues that manifest only during live operations. This method provides developers with actual attack code for discovered vulnerabilities. In 2024, the company identified several vulnerabilities, including 7 in Android and Google Pixel devices and 20 in Xiaomi devices. A Chinese shopping app was found exploiting Android flaws based on Oversecured's research. Additionally, the introduction of a smart sorting feature helps prioritize vulnerabilities based on their threat level to the business.

Moving forward, Oversecured aims to continuously update its detection methods to counter new mobile hacking techniques. The company plans to deepen collaborations with phone manufacturers to enhance research capabilities, similar to their top-ranking performance in Samsung's vulnerability detection program. Furthermore, the expansion of runtime testing will focus on improving the identification of issues in mobile app-server communications.
