Lower costs, faster time-to-market, and more readily available developer resources are just a few of the reasons why organizations develop hybrid applications. Hybrid apps make it possible for developers to build one core application that can be deployed to both Android and iOS devices, streamlining the number of apps that have to interact with users and back office systems.
Unfortunately along with the business benefits of hybrid apps are heightened security risks. App attacks all have a common threat vector: reverse engineering — the disassembly of apps back to the original code. It can take only minutes to reverse engineer an app using readily available software tools. Because hybrid apps are written in JavaScript, they are more susceptible to reverse engineering. Hybrid apps also contain native code libraries which, if compromised, can reveal access to back office systems and confidential information such as customer credentials.
Once a hybrid app is reverse engineered, it can expose critical algorithms, keys and sensitive data, grant API access, and provide an attacker with all the information they need to tamper with code. This can lead to even more insidious attacks targeting an organization’s servers or other infrastructure.
Hybrid App Protection
Zero-trust is a concept centered on the belief that organizations should not trust anything inside or outside their perimeter and instead verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.
Digital.ai code protection consists of interconnected guards and sensors that together create a protection blueprint which is applied without requiring source code modifications. Initial code protection can be applied without the need for complex security configurations or deep security knowledge and can deliver an essential level of protection within minutes that includes threat detection. Digital.ai’s protection process is straightforward to implement, has minimal impact on the software development lifecycle, and can be easily integrated into DevSecOps production environments. Once created, protection blueprints can be automatically updated for inclusion in successive builds — improving follow-on app security without requiring additional development resources.
Digital.ai Application Protection for Hybrid
