Appdome, together with its Buenos Aires-based partner, Lightech, recommended that the bank use Appdome’s platform to protect its app. Specifically, Banco Galicia employed the Appdome Mobile Security Suite, which includes:

• ONEShield by Appdome: Protects against app tampering and debugging
• TOTALCode Obfuscation: Obfuscates the binary code to protect against reverse engineering
• TOTALData Encryption: Protects application data, strings and metadata with AES-256 encryption
• Jailbreak/Root Prevention: Prevents rooting/ jailbreak attempts and stops the app from running on untrusted or banned devices
• Man-in-the-Middle Prevention: Creates and validates the authenticity of trusted communication sessions initiated by the app to prevent data leakage, man-in-the-middle attacks and other breaches
• Mobile Privacy: Provides data loss prevention by adding copy/paste protection, keylogger prevention, disabling screen sharing and other measures

“Mobile consumers expect mobile apps to protect them from malicious attacks and fraud,” said Tom Tovar, CEO and Co-Creator at Appdome. “And with Appdome, development teams can incorporate security protections directly into the app binary in just minutes. Mobile app publishers no longer have to choose between strong security and not blowing up their budgets and schedules. With Appdome, developers can release secure apps on time and within budget.”
