INE Security Launches Enhanced eMAPT Certification
Cary, North Carolina - July 10th, 2025 - INE Security, a leading provider of cybersecurity education and certification, today announced the launch of its significantly enhanced eMAPT (Mobile Application Penetration Testing) certification. The updated certification delivers the industry's most comprehensive and practical approach to mobile application security testing.
CSO Magazine recently recognized eMAPT among the Top 16 OffSec, pen-testing, and ethical hacking certifications for 2025, noting that the eMAPT certifications "offer hands-on training and up-to-date curricula, equipping offensive security professionals with their choice of specialized or broad skill credentialing." The publication specifically highlighted eMAPT as the only certification to focus on mobile application penetration testing among all cybersecurity certifications reviewed.
"The enhanced eMAPT certification delivers exactly what pentester professionals need in today's mobile security landscape," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security. "The certification training focuses on sophisticated analysis techniques, runtime protection bypasses, and effective communication with development teams. With the enhanced eMAPT, we've built a certification that teaches practical skills while maintaining the technical rigor that advanced mobile security work demands."
The Mobile Security Skills Gap: A Growing Concern
Mobile applications handle financial transactions, healthcare data, and critical business operations, creating an exponentially expanded attack surface. Organizations need security professionals who can think like attackers while understanding the business context of their findings.
The enhanced eMAPT certification produces professionals who deliver both technical expertise and clear communication, whether they explain SSL pinning bypasses to development teams or document OWASP MASVS compliance for executives. This certification addresses the specific needs of mobile application penetration testing with unmatched depth and practical focus.
Seven Critical Domains Target Real Security Challenges
The enhanced eMAPT certification covers seven essential knowledge domains that reflect actual penetration testing workflows:
- Target Audience: This domain focuses on understanding the threat landscape and identifying vulnerabilities in mobile applications.
- Security Discipline: This domain covers the various security disciplines, including pen-testing, threat analysis, and incident response.
- Tools and Techniques: This domain explores the tools and techniques used in mobile application penetration testing, including custom deobfuscation tool development.
