    Visibility: Key to on-going security

    Taking steps to protect your intellectual property and application integrity is integral to secure software development, but the efficacy of those defensive measures is limited if you can’t see how well they perform once your app is released in the wild. Threat monitoring with Guardsquare ThreatCast enables you to identify suspicious users, security gaps to patch and gather knowledge to apply during future rounds of development.

    Gain actionable security intelligence

    With ThreatCast, developers can view attacks and suspicious activity as they occur. Drill down into specific events to analyze threat actors’ attempts at reverse engineering and tampering and identify common attack vectors. Set custom alerts and actions to become aware of threat events as they occur and to respond to them before a breach occurs.

    How ThreatCast strengthens security

    No mobile app security solution is truly comprehensive without real-time monitoring to evaluate coverage and performance.

    • Detect threats in real-time
      ThreatCast detects environmental threats as they occur, such as running your app on a jailbroken device; app threats, such as attempted tampering and app resigning; and code threats, where threat actors attempt to alter your app’s internal logic.
    • Identify security gaps and gain insights
      Base your security protocols on real-world threats and common attack vectors.
    • Integrate security into the development lifecycle
      Use historical threat data to identify where to focus your development, time releases to outmaneuver threat actors and optimize automated responses to suspicious activity or attacks during runtime.

    Security for every stage of the software development lifecycle.

    Too often delayed to the end of the development lifecycle, security needs to be considered right from the start. As your app development progresses, testing, feedback and monitoring helps you to ensure the highest possible level of security.

    Develop

    Mobile app security is most effective when it’s considered from the outset of the development lifecycle, which includes making informed design choices, following best practices as well as early rounds of testing and refinement. Ultimately, engaging in secure software development practices identifies security risks early, when they’re quick and cheap to fix, rather than after deployment.

    Protect

    Now that your app is implemented, it’s crucial that you incorporate defenses against reverse engineers in order to protect your intellectual property, prevent counterfeits and secure your data and your brand’s reputation. App shielding techniques like code hardening and runtime application self-protection (RASP) ensure that your mobile app can’t be easily reverse-engineered or tampered with.

    Test

    You wouldn’t release your app without testing its functionality; nor should you without testing its security. Pentesting, or penetration testing, is often performed by third-party experts to attempt to identify security gaps in your app and gain insight into its internal logic, just as a threat actor would. A complement to pentesting is AppSweep, Guardsquare's automated mobile application security testing (MAST) tool.

    Monitor

    Now it’s time to monitor your app's usage after its release, and track related threats in real-time. What are threat actors’ preferred attack vectors? How can you evolve to improve your defenses? Real-time threat monitoring can provide the answers.
