Protect your mobile gaming app against static and dynamic attacks
Protect against reverse engineering
Promon SHIELD® offers security mechanisms such as integrity checking, which prevents modification of an app, and code obfuscation. Obfuscating the app code will make it harder for attackers to perform reverse engineering, gain insight into your game’s app logic, and modify the code.
Fend off real-time hacking
Cheaters deploy various types of methods to gain access to the game’s runtime logic and data. Promon SHIELD® can both detect and block them from achieving an unfair advantage by enabling superpowers, such as making walls appear to be invisible.
Stop the theft of sensitive app assets
Game apps that provide in-game currency or wallets need solutions for securely protecting app assets stored locally on the device. Promon Asset Protection™ stores app assets, such as personally identifiable information and API keys, locally on an end-user device securely and encrypted.
Detect app cloning in real-time
There’s a lot of money in mobile gaming, which makes apps an appealing target for hackers. As a mobile gaming studio, you must prevent hackers from cloning your app and stealing revenue. Promon SHIELD® offers the possibility to detect and react when an application has been repackaged.
FAQ
Your questions answered: How Promon protects mobile gaming apps
1. How does obfuscation specifically help mobile gaming apps?
App code obfuscation prevents reverse engineering by transforming a mobile game’s code into a complex, unreadable format while maintaining functionality. This frustrates attackers, making it harder to exploit vulnerabilities, extract assets like API keys or in-game algorithms, and tamper with the game’s mechanics.
For mobile gaming, obfuscation protects proprietary mechanics, prevents cheats, and safeguards intellectual property. By adding layers like control flow obfuscation and asset encryption, it ensures the game’s fairness, security, and integrity.
2. What are the most common attack vectors for mobile games?
The most common attack vectors for mobile gaming apps include:
1. Reverse Engineering
Attackers analyze the app’s code to understand its logic, extract sensitive data (e.g., API keys, encryption keys), and identify vulnerabilities.
2. Tampering and Repackaging
Hackers modify the app to include cheats or malware and redistribute it, compromising the game’s integrity and user trust.
3. Cheating and Runtime Attacks
Cheaters exploit the app’s runtime logic to gain unfair advantages, such as enabling unlimited resources or manipulating gameplay.
4. Insecure APIs
Poorly secured APIs can be exploited to access sensitive data, manipulate in-game transactions, or bypass security mechanisms.
5. Data Theft
Locally stored sensitive assets, like in-game currency or personal information, are targeted through device-level vulnerabilities.
6. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
Attackers intercept communication between the app and servers to steal data, alter transactions, or manipulate gameplay.
7. Piracy and Cloning
Cloned versions of games bypass in-app purchases, diverting revenue and harming the game’s reputation.
8. Malware and Compromised Devices
Rooted or jailbroken devices expose games to malicious software, increasing risks of data theft and unauthorized access.
9. Credential Theft
Phishing and weak authentication mechanisms allow attackers to hijack user accounts or in-game assets.
Addressing these attack vectors requires robust security measures like code obfuscation, runtime protections, API security, and encryption.
3. How does Promon SHIELD® prevent app tampering and malware attacks?
Promon SHIELD® uses runtime application self-protection (RASP), code obfuscation, and anti-tampering mechanisms to block unauthorized access and modifications. It detects and prevents malware from compromising app functionality or accessing sensitive information, delivering robust, real-time protection.
4. What insights does Promon Insight™ provide for app security?
Promon Insight™ delivers actionable analytics and real-time monitoring of app security events. It helps security teams detect vulnerabilities and respond to threats quickly, improving overall security posture. This data-driven approach empowers teams to proactively address risks and optimize defenses.
