BeVigil

Committed to lead by example, CloudSEK BeVigil empowers individuals and security researchers to determine the security posture of mobile applications in a single click. Despite having over 8 million apps to choose from, users don’t have a mechanism to determine the security posture of apps that they install on their devices. Apart from the standard Google Play Store and App Store, there are 80+ third-party app stores as well. Yet, there is no comprehensive tool to evaluate their validity and security. There has also been a recent spate of supply chain attacks on mobile apps, in which threat actors embed third-party SDKs with malicious code, which are then re-used by unsuspecting app developers. To address this gap, and to empower users, CloudSEK has pioneered the first ever security search engine for mobile apps. With !BeVigil , users can now ascertain the risk rating of an app, check the list of permissions it requests on installation, and ensure it is not malicious. BeVigil’s familiar and easy-to-use search engine interface allows users to simply search for the app name to get a risk score that is indicative of the app’s overall security posture. Moreover, app developers can proactively upload their applications to BeVigil to identify vulnerabilities and remediate them, avoiding any pitfalls prior to their launch.
