Protect intellectual property and keep sensitive data out of reach
Your apps are more than features. They carry proprietary logic, embedded secrets like certificates, tokens, and configuration files that attackers want to extract, copy, and abuse. When those assets live on user devices, they need protection that holds up in hostile environments.
Promon protects code, secrets, and sensitive data with built-in, always-on protection designed to maintain resilience in hostile environments.
What they're missing is trust in the mobile session itself.
Mobile fraud doesn't begin or end at the transaction layer. Attackers target the app runtime and device environment - rooting, jailbreaking, emulators, hooking, overlays, repackaging - to manipulate trust before downstream controls respond. Backend rules and analytics still matter, but on their own they leave a critical question unanswered: was the app and device trustworthy at the moment the action happened?
Threat monitoring
Promon helps you close that gap with built-in, always-on, in-app protection and trusted app-layer threat monitoring. That means stronger signals in high-risk journeys, better context for fraud decisions, and more confidence that your mobile channel is operating as intended.
Protection at scale
Promon technology protects apps relied on by billions of users every day. That scale matters when you need security that is proven, practical, and ready for real-world mobile risk.
Reduce exposure
Promon reduces exposure in high-risk journeys such as:
Login
Account recovery
Device binding
Beneficiary setup
Payments
And we do it without creating unnecessary friction for legitimate users.

Painting the pain
For AppSec leaders, the problem is structural.
The app needs to ship to end-user devices, but the code and data inside it must stay protected. That creates a gap between what the business depends on and what a standard security stack can defend.
Basic obfuscation, operating system controls, app store reviews, perimeter and backend protections all matter. But they do not remove the exposure of a shipped binary on an uncontrolled device. Attackers can still analyze the app, inspect how business logic works, look for embedded secrets, tamper with runtime behavior, or manipulate the app on rooted or jailbroken devices using emulators, malware, and by abusing platform services.
That challenge gets harder when your app supports payments, premium content, regulated workflows, identity checks, or other high-value actions. In those high-stake scenarios, exposed code and stolen secrets are not just a technical issue. They become a brand, revenue, and compliance issue. And once attackers compromise your apps, they can craft new threats against your customers, partners, and ecosystems.
Hostile runtime environments
Rooted, jailbroken, or emulated devices and runtime tampering let attackers manipulate the app from inside before any backend control sees the action.
Reverse engineering
Attackers employ a variety of techniques, including AI-enhanced deobfuscation, to extract intellectual property and secrets.
Security as a blocker
Modern app development moves fast. Security can be perceived as a blocker when it is not integrated into development workflows and pipelines.

On-demand webinar: Protection isn’t intelligence
Mobile threats are evolving, but most security strategies still focus only on blocking attacks. That creates a critical blind spot: organizations may stop threats without ever understanding them. Without visibility, there is no way to measure risk, identify patterns, or strengthen defenses.
In this webinar, we explore why protection without intelligence is no longer enough, and what teams can do about it.
When intellectual property and sensitive data are left exposed in an app, the business impact spreads fast.
Reverse engineering can reveal proprietary logic and lead to data theft, account takeover, and fraud. Extracted API keys, tokens, or certificates can open the door to misuse of services and abuse of trusted app behavior. Runtime tampering can undermine app integrity, while breaches of user privacy and can lead to audits and reputational damage.
For gaming and streaming, the stakes can also include piracy, cheating, failed launches, revenue bypass, and unauthorized access to digital content. For finance, healthcare, and other regulated industries, the issue expands to data handling, audit readiness, and compliance to GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS. Security frameworks such as OWASP MASVS are critical guides, but security needs to move at the speed of app development and be embedded within the app itself.

Quick answers about reducing fraud risk with Promon
How does Promon stop fraud committed from rooted or jailbroken devices?
Promon Shield for Mobile detects rooted, jailbroken, and emulated environments at runtime and can block app execution or feed the signal to your fraud engine. That gives your team a trustworthy answer to a question backend rules can't decide: was the device safe when the action happened?
Do we need to change our app's code to deploy Promon solutions?
No. Promon uses a post-compile, no-code deployment model. You add protection to your existing build without modifying app source code, which means security and mobile teams can roll out faster and without disrupting release cycles.
How does Promon prevent loss of sensitive data?
Promon solutions use advanced encryption, layered obfuscation, and data security at rest and at runtime to significantly raise the bar for reverse engineering.
Will Promon solutions add friction for legitimate users?
No. Protection runs silently in the background. Legitimate users experience the app as normal, while attacker actions and compromised environments are detected and surfaced to your fraud and security teams.
How quickly can we roll out Promon protection across our mobile apps?
Most teams deploy in days, not quarters. Because there are no code changes, mobile engineering and security can layer Promon in alongside the existing release cycle and expand coverage to additional apps and journeys over time.
Can Promon help with DORA, PSD2, PCI DSS, and GDPR compliance?
Promon doesn't make an organisation compliant on its own. It does provide controls and audit-ready evidence — runtime protection, tamper-proof telemetry, app integrity — that support obligations under DORA, PSD2/PSD3, PCI DSS, and GDPR in mobile channels.
Protecting intellectual property in mobile apps is not just about making attacks harder. It is about protecting revenue, preserving trust, and keeping sensitive assets from becoming a business liability.
If your app contains valuable logic, embedded secrets, or sensitive data, now is the time to assess how exposed those assets are in the real world.
Book a mobile app protection review to see how Promon can help you protect code, secrets, and in-app logic inside your mobile app with built-in, always-on protection that fits your release process.
