Mobile apps are increasingly becoming the main way users interact with businesses — yet mobile app security needs have been historically underserved. We can help.
Too many app projects take security needs into consideration at the end of the software development lifecycle. In order to prevent data leakage, intellectual property theft and loss of revenue, mobile app security needs to be a focus at the outset and throughout the development lifecycle.
95% of survey respondents report room for improvement in their security program or protocols.

To prevent reverse engineering, security professionals obfuscate code — rendering it illegible without affecting functionality. Injecting runtime application self-protection (RASP) checks ensures apps can automatically detect tampering and respond accordingly, such as shutting down or blocking access. And layering these defenses make penetration successively more challenging, providing protection to your protections.

Too often delayed to the end of the development lifecycle, security needs to be considered right from the start. As your app development progresses, testing, feedback and monitoring helps you to ensure the highest possible level of security.
Mobile app security is most effective when it’s considered from the outset of the development lifecycle, which includes early rounds of testing and refinement. Ultimately, engaging in secure software development practices identifies security risks early, when they’re quick and cheap to fix, rather than after deployment.

Now that your app is implemented, it’s crucial that you incorporate defenses against reverse engineers in order to protect your intellectual property, prevent counterfeits and secure your data and your brand’s reputation. App shielding techniques like code hardening and runtime application self-protection (RASP) ensure that your mobile app can’t be easily reverse-engineered.

You wouldn’t release your app without testing its functionality; nor should you without testing its security. Pentesting, or penetration testing, is often performed by third-party experts to attempt to identify security gaps in your app and gain insight into its internal logic, just as a threat actor would. A complement to pentesting is AppSweep, Guardsquare's automated mobile application security testing (MAST) tool.

You’ve obfuscated your code to prevent static analysis and attacks, and you’ve implemented RASP for runtime defense; now it’s time to monitor your app and adapt your security configuration to maximize protection. What are threat actors’ preferred attack vectors? How can you evolve to improve your defenses? Real-time threat monitoring can provide the answers.

DexGuard and iXGuard provide comprehensive mobile application security using dozens of obfuscation, encryption, and RASP techniques. These app hardening measures are applied differently with each new build, resetting the clock on malicious actors. Moreover, this multi-layered approach provides stronger protection against both static and dynamic attacks against Android and iOS apps.
AppSweep is a MAST solution that helps developers find and fix security vulnerabilities in their Android app’s code and dependencies. This developer-friendly tool integrates directly into the DevOps toolchain, enabling development teams to detect issues early and often.
ThreatCast is a threat monitoring solution that provides real-time visibility for Android and iOS apps. Actionable insights into the mobile threat landscape enable development teams to continuously improve their security implementations to stay ahead of threat actors.
