iXGuard provides the most comprehensive mobile app protection available. Secure your iOS apps and SDKs through multiple layers of code hardening and runtime application self-protection (RASP).
The industry-leading application shielding solution for iOS mobile app security.
iXGuard protects mobile apps and SDKs against reverse engineering and tampering — two of the top mobile threats according to OWASP — by applying iOS obfuscation that introduces multiple layers of code hardening and injecting RASP checks.
Guardsquare experts assist in setup and are available to respond for support needs, ensuring a frictionless implementation to enhance iOS app security.
As a post-processing tool, iXGuard doesn’t interfere with the build process, shortening time to market by allowing development teams to focus on developing and testing their application or SDK and applying protection once it is ready and working.
If a threat actor decompiles your app, iXGuard ensures your code will be as resistant to reverse engineering as possible. iXGuard provides iOS obfuscation for classes, fields, arithmetic instructions and more; code virtualization; API call hiding; and many additional security features. Crucially, iXGuard’s protection is polymorphic — each build has a different security configuration, preventing a threat actor from reusing their prior knowledge.
iXGuard automatically injects RASP checks, preventing threat actors from tampering with apps at runtime. What’s more, each build features different RASP checks in different locations, ensuring threat actors can’t reuse prior knowledge. iXGuard’s RASP injects checks like jailbreak detection, debugger detection, repackaging detection, code tracing detection, hook detection and more.

It’s easy to get caught up in the myths and misconceptions about how secure your mobile app will be when it’s released into the wild, but perhaps the biggest misconception is that iOS security is better than Android.
Even in the iOS ecosystem, you need to make it difficult for malicious actors to manipulate your application. One of the best ways to do this is to implement code hardening and runtime application self-protection.

“We needed a solution that ensured our mobile apps could not be reverse-engineered or tampered with, especially via rooting,jailbreaking, or other methods. DexGuard and iXGuard met our security requirements and they were straightforward to implement because the team was already familiar with ProGuard”
