In a nutshell

What is Promon App Attestation™?

Promon App Attestation™ verifies the integrity and authenticity of the mobile apps accessing your APIs in real-time to ensure that both bots and sophisticated attackers cannot access or abuse those APIs.

App Attestation uses a challenge-response mechanism to ensure that a genuine application on a secure device makes the API call. Each challenge-response is unique, making it difficult for hackers to exploit and reducing the risk of replay attacks. Promon App Attestation ensures that you don't have to worry even if the APIs and their keys are leaked.
  • Stop rogue mobile apps or servers impersonating legitimate sources.
  • Secure API connectivity without impacting regulatory constraints.
  • Reduce the risk of systemic attacks and fraud.
