Corellium's Virtualization Platform 7.7 Raises the Bar for Mobile Security Testing

NEW YORK, NY – November 18, 2025 – Corellium has released version 7.7 of its virtualization platform, introducing a new ‘Dynamic MATRIX Risk Score’ for mobile app security, expanded global server coverage, and support for the latest mobile operating systems and devices. This update aims to address the growing demand for robust mobile security testing and compliance validation in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

The Rise of ‘Virtual’ Security Testing

Corellium has long positioned itself as a specialist in high-fidelity virtualization for mobile and IoT devices, catering to security researchers, developers, and enterprises. Unlike traditional emulators, the company focuses on providing a near-native experience, allowing for deep-level access and analysis of mobile operating systems. This has become increasingly critical as mobile devices become prime targets for cyberattacks. The release of version 7.7 builds on this foundation, introducing features designed to streamline and enhance the security testing process.

“The mobile security landscape is constantly evolving, and traditional security tools are often not enough to keep up,” says a security consultant familiar with Corellium’s technology. “Virtualization platforms like this allow security teams to proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.”

The company’s platform enables organizations to test applications on virtualized devices running the latest iOS and Android versions, including support for the recently released iOS 26 and Android 16. This allows for comprehensive testing across a wide range of devices and configurations without the need for expensive physical hardware.

Diving into the Dynamic MATRIX Risk Score

The most significant feature in the 7.7 release is the 'Dynamic MATRIX Risk Score'. This feature provides a real-time, data-driven assessment of mobile app risk, assisting security teams in prioritizing their testing efforts. While specific details of the algorithm remain proprietary, Corellium explains that the score is derived from automated security tests conducted within the platform.

“Automated risk scoring is becoming increasingly important as the volume of mobile apps continues to grow,” explains a mobile security analyst. “It allows security teams to focus their resources on the most critical vulnerabilities.”

Corellium differentiates its approach by emphasizing the depth of its virtualization. The company claims that its native-fidelity emulation provides a more accurate assessment of app risk compared to other solutions that rely on emulators or static analysis. While competitors like Sauce Labs and Perfecto have also incorporated AI-driven analytics into their platforms, Corellium’s focus on deep system access provides a unique advantage in identifying subtle vulnerabilities. The company believes that their technology will benefit penetration testers, developers, and security researchers alike. The feature seems to be a step toward automating the initial triage process, allowing security teams to scale their operations and respond faster to emerging threats.

Global Expansion and Future Outlook

Alongside the new software features, Corellium has expanded its global server coverage to 10 regions. This move aims to improve performance and accessibility for international customers, reflecting the growing demand for mobile security solutions worldwide. The company’s platform supports a growing number of international organizations needing to comply with diverse data privacy regulations and security standards.

The expansion is also a strategic move as Corellium seeks to capture a larger share of the global mobile security market, which is expected to reach significant growth in the coming years.

Earlier this year, Corellium was acquired by Cellebrite, a leading provider of digital forensics solutions. This acquisition is expected to further strengthen Corellium’s position in the market by providing access to Cellebrite’s extensive customer base and resources. Chris Wade, founder of Corellium, joined Cellebrite as CTO, signalling a commitment to innovation and integration of virtualization technology into the digital forensics workflow.

“The combination of Corellium’s virtualization technology and Cellebrite’s digital forensics expertise will create a powerful platform for mobile security and investigation,” adds a cybersecurity expert. “This is a significant development in the industry.”

Looking ahead, Corellium is expected to continue investing in research and development, focusing on new features and capabilities that address the evolving threat landscape and meet the growing demands of its customer base. The company is actively exploring new areas such as automotive security and IoT device virtualization, seeking to expand its reach and address emerging security challenges.
