An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
When we last covered Approov in April 2023, the company offered security for interactions between mobile devices and backend services by positioning itself as an intermediary for all traffic between these endpoints.
Since that time, the company has been emphasizing how its mobile app security solution protects apps that call external APIs.
Each connection to an API provides a vector for attackers to retrieve API-related secrets, including encryption keys, digital certificates, and user credentials.
Attackers can also use APIs to mount man-in-the-middle attacks as mobile apps are running by manipulating the communication channel between the app and backend APIs.
Approov locks down mobile app interactions with APIs, preventing compromise from this important vector.
