REX is a vulnerability scanner, it’s designed specifically for developers and software testers to help them test the security of android applications. With REX, you can scan you Android apps as they’re being developed to detect security weaknesses early and often. This is a different approach to traditional “penetration testing” where a human will manually look for security issues when development is complete.
There’s nothing like REX on the market at the moment and Innovate UK believe a tool like REX will help companies to release applications faster and more safely. This will help businesses respond better to situations like the current lockdown due to COVID-19 and help them become less dependant on expensive external security consultancies.
REX isn’t an acronym, we just really like dinosaurs!
