Learn how to improve the security of your mobile apps using BeVigil Jenkins Extension. This comprehensive guide will help you create secure mobile apps that protect user data and prevent unauthorized access. Discover how to use Jenkins integration to automate security testing and ensure your app is secure before release.
Ensure the safety and integrity of your mobile applications with CloudSEK BeVigil Enterprise Mobile App Scanner module.
Schedule a DemoApplications (Android or otherwise) are susceptible to security vulnerabilities. Hence it is important to stay on top of the latest security updates and configure apps for the same. The usual approach for scanning mobile applications and finding security reports involves a series of painstaking steps from the development of the application, scanning, and static analysis of the code, to remediation and rescan.
BeVigil's Jenkins plugin simplifies this task by identifying security vulnerabilities during the application development phase itself. By utilizing this plugin, developers and security teams can easily detect and address any issues that arise during development and streamline the remediation process.
One of the biggest mistakes made by a Developer is that they usually hardcode the API keys, secrets, and assets in the source code while pushing the build APK to the PlayStore. As shown in the image below, the developer has hard-coded the Razorapay key and secret in the application. Hardcoding these keys can lead to the leak of user’s PII.
Let's understand what Jenkins is. Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of software projects. Jenkins provides many plugins to extend its functionality and supports various types of build, deployment, and testing tasks.
Jenkins works by triggering automated builds and tests whenever changes are made to the source code repository. It integrates with version control systems such as Git, SVN, and Mercurial, and can be configured to run automated tests, code analysis, and packaging of the application.
Jenkins is a powerful automation tool that helps software teams to improve their software development processes by automating repetitive tasks and enabling faster feedback cycles. Its popularity is due to its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use, making it a preferred choice for many development teams around the world.
BeVigil Jenkins plugin will help app developers remediate issues at the time of development. As soon as a developer commits a code, they will receive a detailed security report from the BeVigil Jenkins plugin for APK or IPA files. This report would include information such as:
In order for a developer to utilize the Jenkins plugin (offered by BeVigil), they must have the following installed in their system:
BeVigil’s Jenkins plugin can be installed in any system by following the series of steps stated below:
In the next phase, developers will be able to add one more step to the build steps, i.e., if at the time of build if some high-security issues are found in the mobile application then the build will fail at this stage. It cannot go to the next stage of the pipeline. The image below shows the working of the CI/CD pipeline in a software development life cycle.
Configuration changes can be made in the build steps, at the third step of the pipeline, which will make sure that if any high-security issues arise in the build stage, then it would not proceed to the further stages. Our plan is to incorporate the BeVigil plugin into various CI tools, such as Travis, Circle CI, Bamboo, GitLab CI/CD, Azure Pipelines, and CodeShip.

Over recent months, the United States has faced a surge in cyber attacks, with ransomware incidents rising sharply from June to October 2024. Prominent groups, including Play, RansomHub, Lockbit, Qilin, and Meow, have targeted sectors such as Business Services, Manufacturing, IT, and Healthcare, compromising over 800 organizations. Major attacks included a breach of the City of Columbus by Rhysida ransomware and data leaks impacting Virginia’s Department of Elections and Healthcare.gov. Additionally, China’s "Salt Typhoon" espionage campaign is aggressively targeting U.S. ISPs, further complicating the cyber threat landscape. Hacktivist groups advocating pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian positions have also increased their attacks, affecting government entities and critical infrastructure. This report highlights the need for enhanced security protocols, regular audits, and public awareness initiatives to mitigate the growing cyber risks. Key recommendations include implementing multi-factor authentication, frequent employee training, and advanced threat monitoring to safeguard the nation's critical infrastructure and public trust.
Apple warns of state-sponsored mercenary spyware attacks targeting iPhones in 92 countries. The tech giant links the sophisticated, costly attacks to private spyware firms like NSO Group's Pegasus, often working for governments.
