Course Overview

The Mobile Penetration Testing course by SmartBear is designed for cybersecurity professionals aiming to master the assessment and exploitation of mobile application vulnerabilities across iOS and Android platforms. This course prepares learners for the Practical Mobile Pentest Associate (PMPA) certification exam, a hands-on assessment validating real-world penetration testing skills. Targeted at roles such as Mobile Penetration Tester, Security Analyst, and Ethical Hacker, the program meets growing industry demand, with mobile security breaches increasing by 50% year-over-year according to recent reports. It equips participants with the methodologies needed to secure mobile applications in enterprise environments.

Students engage with key tools and technologies including Burp Suite, Objection, Frida, MobSF, and OWASP MASVS within a dedicated lab environment. The hands-on component involves configuring a full mobile testing lab using real devices and emulators, performing static and dynamic analysis, bypassing SSL pinning, and extracting sensitive data from app storage. A core project includes exploiting a simulated organization’s mobile application by combining mobile and web penetration techniques, followed by generating a professional audit report. Labs are conducted in a local setup with Kali Linux and Android emulators, ensuring practical readiness for real-world engagements.

Successfully completing the Mobile Penetration Testing course prepares candidates for the industry-recognized PMPA certification, which validates associate-level expertise in mobile app security. Certified professionals report salary increases of up to 25%, with mobile penetration testers earning an average of $110,000 annually in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring personalized support. Graduates gain the skills to lead mobile security initiatives, perform compliance audits, and advance into senior cybersecurity roles.
