Problem
Mobile applications are vulnerable to various threats, including reverse engineering, data loss, and unauthorized access, especially on unsecured or BYOD devices. Traditional security measures often disrupt user experience and are insufficient to protect against sophisticated attacks targeting mobile apps.
Solution
Blue Cedar provides a mobile app security platform that integrates security directly into applications, creating self-defending apps that unite into a resilient virtual mesh. The platform uses technologies like Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), code obfuscation, data encryption, and tamper detection to protect apps against emerging threats, prevent reverse engineering, and safeguard sensitive information. Blue Cedar's distributed sensor mesh aggregates data from various channels, performs AI analysis in the cloud and on the device, identifies app-specific vulnerabilities, and detects trends across multiple dimensions. The platform integrates with existing security infrastructure via open APIs, enhancing decision-making and threat mitigation strategies.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes enterprises and independent software vendors (ISVs) seeking to secure their mobile applications against a wide range of threats and ensure compliance with security policies.
