Reduce your exposure to mobile app fraud with runtime protection and threat monitoring.
Fraud teams can't stop what they can't trust. When attackers manipulate the mobile runtime, operate from rooted or jailbroken devices, or run fake app variants, backend controls see the result but miss what happened inside the session. Promon closes that gap with always-on in-app protection and trusted app-layer telemetry — stronger signals for high-risk journeys like login, account recovery, device binding, and funds movement.
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.

Fraud teams have data.
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?
Backend fraud rules see suspicious transactions but miss what happened inside the app session
Rooted, jailbroken, and emulated devices slip past standard mobile signals
Fraud, SOC, and mobile teams work from disconnected signals, slowing response
Runtime hooking, overlays, keyloggers, and repackaged apps evade OS-level protections
Investigation drags on as teams piece together incomplete evidence from multiple systems
Weak runtime evidence increases pressure under DORA, PSD2/PSD3, and PCI DSS scrutiny
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.
Blind spots in fraud signals
Mobile analytics and backend rules can't confirm whether the app instance and device environment were trustworthy at the moment a high-risk action occurred.
Disconnected investigation workflows
Fraud, SOC, and mobile teams pull evidence from different tools, delaying triage and pushing intervention later in the fraud chain.

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.
The stakes of failing to trust the mobile session include:
Direct fraud losses in login, account recovery, and funds movement
Higher chargeback rates and false-positive churn from legitimate customers
Reputational damage and erosion of customer trust in the mobile channel
Slower investigation and escalation as evidence is reconstructed across tools
Audit and regulatory pressure under DORA, PSD2/PSD3, GDPR, and PCI DSS
GDPR — fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for serious data-handling failures
PCI DSS — penalties of $5,000–$100,000 per month from card brands for sustained non-compliance
DORA — supervisory enforcement and reporting obligations for financial entities failing ICT risk and incident requirements
Cut mobile fraud exposure faster with protection that works out of the box.
Always-on in-app protection
Defend against rooting, jailbreaking, hooking, overlays, and repackaging inside the live mobile session.
Trusted runtime telemetry
Convert runtime detections into structured signals that strengthen fraud scoring and investigations
Frictionless, post-compile rollout
Deploy in days without code changes - no visible friction for legitimate users.
Solution
Address mobile fraud risk across every step of the customer journey
From protection to transaction - turn in-app protection into fraud intelligence the whole organisation can use
Promon brings together prevention and intelligence for a more complete mobile fraud defense.
Together, these capabilities support a stronger fraud posture:
protect the app at runtime
harden high-risk mobile journeys
detect hostile environments earlier
route trusted signals into fraud, SOC, and compliance workflows
That is the differentiator for this use case: prevention plus intelligence, built into the app itself.
App Enrolment - Banking App or Wallet
App integrity verification can detect repackaged or tampered binaries before enrolment proceeds. Root / jailbreak detection can block enrolment on compromised devices. Certificate and signature validation confirm the app binary is the genuine published version
Overlay / tapjacking detection would identify malicious apps rendering UI above the payment screen. Accessibility service abuse detection could flag unauthorised use of accessibility APIs. Screenshot and screen-recording prevention can protect sensitive payee data from exfiltration.
Anti-hooking and anti-debugging would prevent runtime manipulation of authentication logic. Keylogger and input-capture detection could protect PIN / password entry fields. Biometric API integrity check ensure biometric authentication calls are genuine and unmodified. OTP and token protection can prevent interception of one-time passwords via SMS or authenticator. [Trusted execution environment signals can attest the device security posture to the authentication server.
Real-time denial actions enabling to block, step-up, or terminate sessions on confirmed threat signals. Allows incident reconstruction via the replay of ordered security event sequences to understand fraud chains. Tamper-proof audit trail is ensured with cryptographically verifiable logs of app security events. Regulatory mapping of audit events mapped to PSD2, DORA, PCI DSS, GDPR control requirements. Fraud ops integration by exporting structured evidence to SIEM, case management, and compliance reporting tools

Promon Shield for Mobile™
Deploy fast with confidence Embed always-on runtime protection Mitigate regulatory-specified risks
Fraud teams do not need another heavyweight project. They need stronger trust signals that fit the way mobile delivery already works.
Quick deployment, alignment with existing development processes, and security that fits into the mobile release cycle without derailing delivery timelines.
Fraud exposure is rarely isolated to one team. Effective rollout depends on coordination across fraud, security, compliance, and mobile engineering. The intake identifies the right prerequisites: access to the mobile codebase or build pipeline, clear ownership of high-risk journeys, and agreement on how runtime trust signals should drive escalation.
This is where Promon’s frictionless, post-compile deployment becomes effective. Teams can start with runtime protection and visibility, strengthen the security posture around the most exposed user journeys and business logic flows, and fine-tune their security operating model over time. Promon supports a stronger mobile security posture without requiring a rip-and-replace approach or a visibly degraded customer experience.
Promon leaves you free to develop, while we protect your teams and customers.
Turn mobile app protection into fraud intelligence for your industry
Do you face mobile-fraud pressure? Promon helps organizations evolve beyond blocking threats in the app runtime by making protection measurable and operational. Runtime signals such as rooting, jailbreaks, emulators, hooking, debugging, code injection, and tampering can be converted into actionable intelligence for fraud teams, SOC teams, SIEM workflows, forensic investigations, and executive reporting.
Banking & finance

Industry benefits: Reduced subscription leakage, improved account integrity, better detection of automated abuse, and actionable intelligence for trust and safety workflows.
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 Shield?
No. Promon Shield 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 Shield integrate with our existing fraud and SOC tooling?
Promon Insight for App Security delivers structured, tamper-proof telemetry that routes directly into fraud platforms, SOC tooling, and SIEMs. Runtime signals like rooting, hooking, and overlays become operational evidence for triage, investigation, and executive reporting.
Will Promon Shield for Mobile 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.
See where your highest-risk mobile journeys are exposed, where hostile app environments are weakening trust, and how built-in app protection plus trusted threat monitoring can support better fraud decisions.
