Addressing Mobile App Security Risks & Threats

Mobile application protection can be categorized as security solutions that focus on building and increasing the defensive capabilities within a mobile application, making it more resistant to attacks and responsive when attacked. It generally includes techniques such as code obfuscation, specialized cryptographic key protection, anti-tampering protections and integrity protections, as well as Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) for awareness of debugging, emulators, dynamic and static analysis, and more. 

Organizations offering iOS or Android apps need comprehensive mobile app protection to protect confidential data, intellectual property, and the customers they serve. An effective mobile app security and protection approach must also be practical for developers and should not cause significant development delays, be easily implemented, provide mobile-specific security, not affect app performance, and keep pace with rapidly evolving threats.

Zimperium’s Mobile Application Protection Suite consists of four products with a centralized dashboard to view threats and create response policies. It is the only unified platform that combines centralized visibility with comprehensive in-app protection, combining both inside-out and outside-in security approaches to help enterprises build and maintain secure mobile apps.

Every day the number and range of methodologies and malicious programs hackers use to gain unauthorized access to applications, devices, and personal information increases. Often software code itself provides the entry point for attack. In 2020, a full 35% of breaches could be traced to scanning for and exploiting code vulnerabilities, making it the single most common initial infection vector, even ahead of phishing.

One of the most important weapons available to developers and security teams in the war against application piracy, device infiltration, code injection, and other malicious acts, is source code obfuscation. But what is source code obfuscation and what does it mean in a software development context? Download our report to get a better idea of how obfuscation in programming works and the top obfuscation security techniques used by mobile app developers around the world.

A Platform Approach to Mobile App Protection

Zimperium's Mobile Application Protection Suite (MAPS) consists of four products with a centralized dashboard to view threats and create response policies. It is the only unified platform that combines centralized visibility with comprehensive in-app protection, combining both inside-out and outside-in security approaches to help enterprises build and maintain secure mobile apps.

zScan

Discover and fix compliance, privacy, and security issues within the development process before you publicly release your apps.

zKeyBox

Protect confidential data by securing cryptographic keys with white-box cryptography so they cannot be discovered, extracted, or manipulated.

zShield

Harden and protect the app with advanced obfuscation and anti-tampering functionality to protect the source code, intellectual property (IP), and data within the application.

zDefend

Enable the mobile application to detect and proactively protect itself by taking actions on the end user’s device, even without network connectivity.
