Silker AI Mobile Security protects the APIs behind iOS and Android apps and assesses the apps themselves. Its static assessment maps findings to the 2024 OWASP Mobile Top 10, assigns a security grade and 0–100 score, and provides remediation guidance for each finding. A scan can start from an app identifier and store listing without uploading source code or a binary; deeper binary analysis is on the roadmap. Listed checks include insecure storage, cryptography, transport security, binary protections, and exposed components. Platform-specific checks cover iOS transport security, Keychain storage, App Attest, anti-tampering, and Universal Links, along with Android manifest settings, Keystore, cleartext traffic, Play Integrity, and obfuscation. Runtime protection blocks malicious API requests with a 403, rate limits or bans abusive IPs, and redacts leaking personal information and secrets. It runs on the backend the app calls and does not require an app store release. Scans are saved to track progress across releases. The maker describes the company as onboarding its first design partners. Paid access starts at $39/mo.
