INE launches a practical credential for mobile security specialists.
Mobile is the most attacked and least audited device: millions of apps with critical vulnerabilities circulate without ever having gone through a real penetration test.
Earning a practical certification that demonstrates that capability is, right now, one of the smartest moves in an offensive career.
The exam has no questions: you get real apps and you have to break them.
The eMAPT syllabus covers the two platforms that dominate the market. On Android you work with DEX and OAT binaries; on iOS with Mach-O. You apply reverse engineering to extract code and bypass obfuscation techniques. You analyze app behavior at runtime, identify insecure storage flaws, poorly encrypted communications, weak authentication controls, and broken business logic.
Reverse engineering on two platforms, with no safety net.
Beyond finding the flaw, the eMAPT requires you to communicate it. The exam evaluates your ability to write a technical report that is understandable both to a development team and to a non-technical executive. To support this, it draws on recognized frameworks such as OWASP MASVS, MTTG, and PTES, which are the real industry standard for mobile application audits.
Two platforms, reverse engineering, real exploitation, professional reporting, and frameworks included.
For pentesters with a foundation who are looking to specialize.
The eMAPT is designed for pentesters with a solid base who are looking for a specific niche. With it you can pursue roles such as mobile security tester, red teamer specialized in apps, or mobile security consultant at audit firms, banks, fintechs, or any sector with proprietary apps.
Follow the eJPT, eCPPT, then eMAPT path.
INE recommends completing their mobile security learning path before sitting the exam. Spend time practicing reverse engineering with tools like jadx, apktool, or Frida in controlled environments. INE’s labs give you access to real vulnerable apps. Also practice reporting: many candidates master the technique but fall short when it comes to documenting it. You will need an active INE subscription plus an exam voucher.
How does the eMAPT compare to other mobile certifications on the market?
There are not many practical certifications focused exclusively on mobile pentesting. The eMAPT competes with GIAC’s GMOB, which is more expensive and geared toward corporate environments, and with mobile modules within generalist certifications. Its advantage: total focus on Android and iOS with 100% practical assessment.
A practical credential in a niche with little certified competition.
The mobile audit market is growing and certified professionals in that field remain scarce. Having the eMAPT on your CV sets you apart from generalist pentesters. It also fits into the INE path: if you already hold the eJPT or eCPPT, the eMAPT is the logical next step without switching ecosystems.
Real niche, little certified competition, ideal timing.
If your goal is red teaming and you have not yet seriously explored mobile pentesting, the eMAPT could be the move that sets you apart.
Steps to earn it
- ✓Complete the eJPT and eCPPT as a solid prior foundation.
