NowSecure, the leader in mobile application risk management (MARM), announced the general availability of AI-Navigator, an AI-driven enhancement to the NowSecure Platform that automates authenticated Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for mobile applications. The new capability dramatically streamlines mobile app security testing, reducing setup and execution time by more than 90% while expanding real-world risk coverage behind login screens.
Mobile app security teams are under increasing pressure to test faster and more comprehensively as apps grow more complex and artificial intelligence accelerates development cycles. Traditional authenticated dynamic testing has been hindered by brittle scripted workflows and manual automation, often leaving the most sensitive app behaviors untested. NowSecure’s AI-Navigator closes this gap by automatically interpreting and navigating mobile app user interfaces beginning with app login workflows to deliver resilient, scriptless authenticated testing at scale.
“Mobile apps are the front door to enterprise and consumer data, but traditional security testing has struggled to effectively test what happens after login where the most critical vulnerabilities often hide,” said NowSecure CTO David Weinstein. “AI-Navigator combines AI automation with our proven real-device dynamic testing platform to deliver complete coverage from login to logout.”

Automated Authenticated Testing at Scale
AI-Navigator eliminates the manual scripting that has long slowed authenticated dynamic testing. Leveraging advanced AI and real-time UI interpretation, the solution navigates complex login flows and adapts to changing interfaces without repeated maintenance.
This results in:
-
Faster Setup and Immediate Use: Security and development teams can begin authenticated testing quickly and consistently without scripting.
-
Reliable Navigation Through App Updates: AI-Navigator adapts to UI and business logic changes, maintaining consistent authenticated access across releases. Early adopters have achieved a 100% authentication success rate for eligible apps.
-
Expanded Coverage: Once authenticated, teams can dynamically test up to 95% of an application, including deeper workflows, critical backend APIs, sensitive data transactions, and third-party SDKs often missed by unauthenticated scans.
-
Increased Operational Efficiency: Automation of authentication frees analysts from repetitive setup tasks, enabling more frequent and thorough testing.
-
Stronger Risk Visibility: Authenticated testing uncovers vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and data privacy risks that static or unauthenticated testing cannot detect.
Privacy-First AI Design
AI-Navigator was engineered with security and privacy as foundational principles. All credentials, customer applications, and testing data remain entirely within the NowSecure Platform. AI reasoning is based on non-sensitive visual and structural UI context in real time; no sensitive data is stored, retained in memory, or used to train external AI models, preserving auditability and compliance.
Scaling Modern AppSec Programs
As mobile development accelerates and release cycles become more frequent, AppSec teams need scalable, repeatable testing processes. AI-Navigator enables organizations to integrate authenticated dynamic testing into DevSecOps pipelines, ensuring consistent coverage even as development velocity increases.
AI-Navigator is available now as part of the NowSecure Platform, offering customers a powerful way to streamline authenticated mobile app security testing and reduce operational burden while enhancing risk visibility.
