Summary

A global leader in cloud and content delivery services faced growing threats in its mobile infrastructure. Specifically, they needed a solution that would help protect the applications developed by customers and those using its software development kit (SDK). By partnering with Promon, the company improved its mobile security and reduced vulnerabilities, ensuring that sensitive data and services remained protected from cyberattacks.

 

Company profile

The company is a major provider of cloud services, content delivery, and security solutions to businesses worldwide. Due to the sensitive nature of its services, it is frequently targeted by cybercriminals and must adhere to strict industry standards. While the company has world-class cybersecurity expertise, they wanted specialized support for mobile application security and their SDK.

 

The challenge

With a growing mobile presence, the company faced increased risks from reverse engineering, malware, and unauthorized access. Protecting its mobile services while ensuring compliance with security standards was a critical priority. The company offers advanced security products to its customers. However, they wanted to integrate a sophisticated solution to take their mobile application security to the next level and protect users of their software development kit (SDK) from attack. They needed a solution that was easy to integrate, would work seamlessly for customers, and not impact the developer or end-user experience.

 

Promon's solution

  1. Code obfuscation: Promon SDK Protection uses the Promon Jigsaw obfuscation engine to scramble the code, making it difficult to decipher or tamper with. This includes techniques like section encryption, control flow abstraction, and renaming.
  2. Runtime protections: With SKD protection, Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) controls to monitor for threats on customer devices. This includes detecting and defusing jailbroken or rooted devices, and neutralizing code injection attempts.
  3. Integration: Promon SDK Protection is designed to be easy to integrate, reducing friction between security and development teams.

Results

By implementing Promon SDK Protection, the company was able to ensure that apps developed with its SDK were protected from malware, reverse engineering, and even from being run on jailbroken or compromised devices. By adding this additional layer of protection, the company could continue to grow its mobile application offerings knowing that both companies and end users were protected. With Promon’s flexible deployment, customers could be confident their apps were protected across operating systems, devices, and more so the company could focus on what it does best: developing innovative products that drive results.
