Organizations increasingly rely on third-party mobile applications, yet evaluating their security posture remains a fragmented process. Security teams are often forced to piece together vulnerability reports, privacy assessments, malware indicators, and reputation signals from multiple sources before making an approval decision.

Today, we're introducing App Vetting, a new capability in Ostorlab designed to help organizations assess Android and iOS applications through automated analysis, contextualized risk scoring, and continuous monitoring.

App Vetting combines static analysis, dynamic testing, and safe containment sandbox execution to provide a comprehensive view of application risk before deployment and throughout the application lifecycle.

From Findings to Decisions

Most security tools stop at detection.

App Vetting uses agentic workflows to analyze findings, identify meaningful risk patterns, and provide context around what security teams should focus on first.

Rather than overwhelming users with hundreds of isolated findings, App Vetting helps prioritize the issues that have the greatest impact on an application's overall risk profile.

The goal is simple: help teams spend less time reviewing findings and more time making informed decisions.

Rather than relying solely on severity ratings, this approach helps security teams understand what contributes to an application's overall risk profile and make more informed approval decisions.

Multi-Dimensional Risk Scoring

Applications are evaluated across five dimensions:

• Malware (35%)
• Security (25%)
• Privacy (20%)
• Trust (10%)
• Maintainability (10%)

This scoring model provides a more complete view of application risk than traditional severity ratings alone.

By combining vulnerability analysis, malware indicators, privacy concerns, trust signals, and long-term maintainability factors, App Vetting helps organizations understand not only whether an application is risky, but why.

Built for Collaboration

Application reviews rarely involve a single team.

Security teams, developers, auditors, procurement stakeholders, and third-party vendors often need access to the same assessment results.

App Vetting supports secure token-based scan sharing, allowing stakeholders to review findings through a dedicated web view without requiring platform access or additional accounts.

This simplifies communication, accelerates review cycles, and makes it easier to collaborate on application approval decisions.
