When App Stores Get Challenged, Mobile App Security Must Evolve!

The EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) is shaking things up by forcing Apple and Google to open up app distribution. Great for choice, but what about security?

The Challenge: Traditionally, app stores provided a layer of security. With sideloading (downloading from outside app stores) becoming a possibility, that safeguard weakens. This exposes apps to:

• Reverse engineering and copying: Hackers could steal your app's code and functionality.
• Runtime manipulation: Malicious actors could tamper with your app after it's downloaded.
• Fake apps: Fraudulent apps posing as yours could steal user data.

So, how can you address these new risks?

Here are some key strategies:

• App Shielding: This technology makes it harder to reverse engineer your app's code, protecting your intellectual property.
• Runtime Attestation: This verifies your app's authenticity after download, ensuring users get the real deal.
• Anti-tampering Checks: These measures can detect suspicious activity within the app environment.
• API and Communication Security: Protecting data exchange between your app and its servers is crucial.

The good news? Solutions exist and are platform-agnostic, meaning they work on both iOS and Android! Approov and PreEmptive, two leading mobile app security companies are working together to provide a solution that is effective and easy to install and manage.
