According to IDC’s Security Insights Survey, nearly 83% of organizations lack confidence in their ability to detect and mitigate AI-driven threats against their mobile apps. As generative AI accelerates both app development and attackers’ ability to reverse-engineer and exploit software at scale, traditional AppSec testing and perimeter defenses alone can no longer protect applications once they’re running in the hands of end users. As such, more organizations in virtually every industry will need to move from basic, pre-deployment prevention to comprehensive, AI-aware application hardening.
Take a deep dive into IDC’s Spotlight paper to gain valuable insights, including how:
- AI has permanently shifted the mobile threat landscape — expanding the attack surface and giving even novice attackers the ability to reverse-engineer and exploit apps at unprecedented speed
- Code obfuscation and anti-tamper controls shield application logic and detect unauthorized modifications in untrusted runtime environments
- Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)-like capabilities identify unsafe execution environments and block malicious activity in real time
- Post-build application hardening integrates directly into DevOps pipelines, protecting entire mobile app portfolios at scale without slowing release velocity
