Appdome, the one-stop shop for mobile app defense, today announced the results of its 4^th Annual Global Consumer Survey of Mobile App Security here at the OWASP Global AppSec conference. The survey reveals that mobile end users are keenly aware of the growing security, fraud, and privacy threats when they use mobile apps and demand that mobile brands and enterprises step forward to provide real defenses to these threats.

To create the 2024 survey, Appdome partnered with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and included survey questions that measures consumer alignment with the OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) standard, as well as anti-fraud and other cyber objectives. The voice of the global consumer was clear – not only do they demand the protections included in the OWASP MAS standard, but the survey data reveals a challenge to the entire mobile industry to improve the state of the art of mobile app protection, globally.

“We’re very excited to bring the consumer voice into OWASP’s Mobile App Security standard,” said Andrew van der Stock, Executive Director of OWASP. “Our goal has always been to enable mobile app security and development teams to keep their mobile app protections up to date with industry demands. Knowing what protections global end users expect when they use mobile apps in life and work supports our work to ensure robust mobile app protection for everyone.”

The 2024 survey data adds to the 120,000+ consumer voices gathered from 12 countries over the past four years, making the Appdome Global Consumer Survey the largest single collection of consumer data on mobile app security, privacy, anti-fraud, and other attack vectors. Mobile applications have taken center stage in consumers’ daily life. Mobile app protection – consisting of mobile app security, malware defense, fraud prevention, and privacy – is now critical to the way consumers choose and use mobile apps, and also critical in whether they choose to stay with and promote a brand.

“Cyber professionals work tirelessly to keep applications, networks, transactions, and users safe while Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other attacks increase,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO of Appdome. “Global consumers continue their march upward in recognizing the importance of this work and it’s clear that they overwhelmingly support a broadening cyber, anti-fraud, anti-malware, anti-bot mandate, and higher OWASP standard, inside brand and enterprise mobile apps everywhere.”

Several upward trends are revealed in the 2024 data, including consumers’ use of mobile apps, their awareness of mobile attack vectors, the growing expectation of protection in apps and consumers’ willingness to be brand advocates if protected. Here are some of the cyber expectations in mobile apps that hit all-time highs in the 2024 Survey:

• Mobile vs. Web: 55.3% — the highest level ever— of global consumers say they use mobile applications more than web, dwarfing preference for online/web at 22.5%. Furthermore, with 63.4% — the highest level ever— say that they use more than 6 mobile apps weekly.
• Total Protection: 99.5% —the highest level ever— of global consumers demand total protection in mobile apps including mobile app data, account integrity, login, data storage, data in transit, and protection from malware and fraud.
• Social Engineering: 70.6% —the highest level ever— of global consumers have themselves, or know someone who has, been a victim of social engineering or other fraud attacks.
• Fraud Prevention: 83.5% —the highest level ever— of global consumers demand brands proactively prevent mobile fraud from happening rather than reimburse them post-fraud.
• Features vs. Security: 87.4% —the highest level ever— of global consumers say that mobile app protection is equally or more important than mobile app features in their decision to use a mobile app, with 90.6% saying they evaluate the security claims of the brand before downloading a mobile app.
• Fear Inaction: The number of global consumers who fear “developers don’t care” about protecting the mobile app has increased by 258%, topping the four-year survey at 1 in 4 of all respondents.

Consumers maintained strong perspectives on these top trends in the 2024 survey:

• Rewarding Secure Brands: 94.6% —the highest level ever— of respondents state they will become brand advocates for mobile brands that protect their apps and use. More than half (53.6%) said they would use the highest forms of advocacy, such as app store reviews or social media endorsements.
• Consequences for Insecure Apps: 96.7% —the highest level ever— of respondents state they would abandon a mobile brand for failing to protect their app and use, and 73.9% saying they would encourage others to abandon the mobile brand too.

“It’s clear that consumers are taking mobile brand promises and the emerging threat of AI attacks seriously,” said Alan Bavosa, VP of Security Products at Appdome. “AI-based attacks will take mobile app risks to a new level, and mobile brands and enterprises need to change their cyber delivery models to meet the accelerating threat head on and maintain user trust and engagement on mobile platforms.”

Appdome SDKProtect is designed to end third-party, mobile supply chain risk and democratize mobile threat intelligence and telemetry data among mobile SDK developers. The new service enables mobile SDK developers to quickly and easily create protected and threat-aware versions of their mobile SDKs, reducing fraud and ensuring compliance.

Mobile SDKs play a critical role in the mobile app economy, enabling Android & iOS developers to integrate essential functions into their applications, such as payment and banking services, digital identity verification, analytics, advertising, and more. The widespread use of mobile SDKs also makes them a prime target for malicious actors seeking to exploit SDKs to create supply chain risks inside mobile apps or compromise mobile app security to perform identity fraud, account takeovers, SDK spoofing, data breaches or other attacks.

“Mobile brands have become SDK providers themselves, and there’s more need than ever to leverage real-time attack and threat data inside mobile services,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO of Appdome. “We want to protect mobile SDKs and empower mobile SDK vendors to use our industry leading in-app intelligence framework to enrich critical mobile services to improve fraud detection, identity verification, and transaction integrity, and ensure regulatory compliance in mobile applications, globally.”

The new Appdome SDKProtect service provides mobile SDK vendors and developers with multiple options for mobile SDK protection. Appdome SDKProtect strengthens the security posture of third-party software development kits (SDKs) used in mobile app development against static and dynamic attacks, reverse engineering, IP loss and exploits. The service also makes Appdome platform’s rich mobile attack and intelligence data intelligence framework available to SDK providers to enhance the value of their SDK-based mobile services.

“Mobile SDKs are critical components of the mobile app supply chain, and if left unprotected, can result in significant and reverberating impacts across the mobile app ecosystem,” said Katie Norton, Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC. “SDKProtect from Appdome provides an automated method for SDK makers to secure and protect their SDKs, as well as provide them with threat intelligence to detect and respond quickly to real-world attacks.”

Appdome SDKProtect offers several levels of mobile SDK protection:

• Threat-Shielding: Used to protect mobile SDK against reverse engineering and tampering by obfuscating and encrypting SDK data, strings, resources and preferences.
• Mobile Risk Evaluation: Comprehensive coverage of SDK attacks, such as facial recognition bypass, root and Jailbreak detection, emulator detection, hooking frameworks, debuggers, Android debug bridge and more.
• Threat Intelligence: Takes the power of Threat-Shielding and Mobile Risk Evaluation and combines it with two visibility and control options.
  
  • Threat-Streaming, which takes Threat Intelligence to the next level by providing real-time telemetry data that can be streamed to the SDK maker’s back-end to create specific outcomes when attacks happen.
  • Threat-Monitoring, which combines the protections with real-time attack monitoring and enterprise-grade intelligence via Appdome ThreatScope Mobile XDR.

The mobile Threat Intelligence packages leverage the power of Appdome Threat-Events in-app attack intelligence framework. The framework that empowers mobile developers with real-time event data and control for mobile SDKs.

“Keeping the mobile app economy safe requires this step,” said Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer of Appdome. “Protecting mobile SDKs from reverse engineering is table stakes. Leveraging comprehensive, real-time attack and threat data in mobile services and making mobile SDKs threat-aware is the quantum leap forward the industry has needed for a long time.”

Using the Appdome SDKProtect service is easy. Mobile SDK developers present the Appdome platform with a version of the mobile SDK (in Android .aar or .jar and iOS framework files), choose the level of protection to apply to the SDK and initiate the build command. Once selected, the Appdome platform builds the chosen protections into the mobile SDK. In just minutes, the protected mobile SDK is available for download and distribution by the mobile SDK developer to its customers.

Appdome SDKProtect is fully compatible with all mobile platforms, frameworks, and development languages. It seamlessly integrates with existing app development workflows and tools, requiring no changes to the SDK source code or development environment.

Approov, a leader in mobile application and API security, and PreEmptive, a pioneering force in application security, today joined forces to provide comprehensive mobile application protection as the EU Digital Markets Act takes effect. The joint solution addresses the main challenges for mobile app security: protecting intellectual property and app shielding, as well as runtime threats to apps and the need for app attestation.

The EU DMA forces Google and Apple to allow side-loaded apps via alternative app stores which reduces the effectiveness of the security mechanisms provided by these vendors. For example, the theft of app intellectual property, creation of illegal copies of apps, and manipulation of apps at runtime are all harder for Google and Apple to prevent.

Ted Miracco, CEO of Approov, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “This partnership with PreEmptive represents an exciting opportunity for app developers to embrace the evolving digital marketplace. Together, we are paving the way for enhanced security solutions that thrive beyond the traditional confines of Google and Apple’s ecosystems, aligning with the EU’s vision for a more open and competitive app landscape as outlined in the Digital Markets Act.”

PreEmptive and Approov have partnered to effectively protect app intellectual property and prevent runtime tampering through a straightforward, cross-platform solution to these challenges that are compatible with both iOS and Android. This effective and easy-to-deploy security solution for mobile apps seamlessly integrates with the CI/CD pipeline and SAST/DAST solutions, and is not dependent on Apple or Google. It includes:

• Comprehensive shielding of Android and iOS mobile app code from reverse engineering and intellectual property theft.
• Runtime app attestation to prevent cloned and copied apps.
• Anti-tampering checks to detect client OS manipulation and the presence of emulators and hostile frameworks at runtime.
• API and communications channel protection by using dynamic certificate pinning.
• Dynamic API Key and certificate management to prevent API abuse.

There are fundamental security challenges with mobile apps: they can be reverse engineered, analyzed, cloned, modified, or copied, and the environments they run in can be hacked, rooted, instrumented, and manipulated to interfere with the operation of an app. Apple and Google provide only basic app protection and attestation, but these are limited and are dependent on features of the Apple App Store and on Google Play. Stronger security measures are needed.

Approov and PreEmptive address these challenges with a joint solution that works across all platforms and application types — independent of the app store employed to distribute apps. This means users can future-proof your application security while continuously monitoring for and preventing app and API abuse.

Under terms of the partnership:

• Approov can resell Dotfuscator and JSDefender, and the PreEmptive mobile shielding products: PreEmptive DashO for Android, and Defender for iOS.
• Approov provides an extended 90-day trial period of Approov RASP and runtime analytics to PreEmptive customers.

Joshua Lindstrom, VP of Global Sales at PreEmptive, adds, “By joining forces, PreEmptive Solutions and Approov are pioneering a best-in-class layered approach to mobile application security. Together, we’re not just protecting apps; we’re safeguarding IP, data, and the integrity of the mobile ecosystem.”

April 24 Joint Web Seminar Explains It All

Approov will host a joint web seminar on the impact of the EU Digital Markets Act with PreEmptive on April 24, 2024, at 11am US Eastern Time (ET). The one-hour session will delve into mobile app vulnerabilities and demonstrate how PreEmptive and Approov effectively protect app intellectual property and prevent runtime tampering, with a straightforward approach compatible with both iOS and Android. Attendees will learn:

• How the EU Digital Markets Act exposes the limitations of Google and Apple mobile security.
• Why the two main challenges for mobile app security are: (1) The protection of intellectual property and the need for app shielding; and (2) Runtime threats to apps and the need for app attestation.
• How to easily and effectively defend against these threats as the EU DMA takes effect
• How PreEmptive and Approov together provide an effective and easy-to-deploy security solution for mobile apps that is not dependent on Apple or Google.
