iXGuard Features
Defend Against Static Analysis
iXGuard software applies in-depth protection against reverse engineering to defend against static analysis. Layered techniques, including data encryption, code virtualization, and control flow and name obfuscation, keep the app's internal logic hidden. This helps users protect intellectual property, prevent extraction of secrets, and secure sensitive code related to backend APIs and transactions.
Counter Dynamic Analysis
This feature is designed to counter dynamic analysis by preventing runtime tampering and inspection of the code. The software ensures continuous integrity of the code and its execution environment by blocking function hooks and dynamic instrumentation. It also acts on environments with root privileges, emulators, and tampered system libraries to defend against malware techniques.
Real-time Threat Monitoring
The platform, when extended, offers real-time threat monitoring to give security teams full visibility into suspicious activity and vulnerabilities. Users can gain intelligence to proactively adapt security configurations to the evolving threat landscape. This capability ensures that threats detected in the wild can inform and reinforce the mobile app’s existing defenses.
Security Testing
Security testing is achieved through an allied product, AppSweep, designed to find and address security issues in both Android and iOS mobile app code and dependencies. This allows users to quickly resolve vulnerabilities with actionable recommendations. This app security testing product is designed for developers but scales to meet the robust needs of an enterprise.
Mobile Attestation
The software platform allows for mobile attestation to ensure that the app interacting with backend APIs at runtime is authentic, untampered, and trusted. Users can detect real-time threats and automatically enforce dynamic security policies. This protection layer blocks unauthorized access and API abuse based on an aggregated, continuous feed of threat intelligence.
