Anti-tampering technology is designed to detect and prevent unauthorized modifications to the code of an application. With thousands of micro-checks integrated into your application, anti-tamper technology keeps your software running as designed, including in hostile environments.
Using anti-tampering technology, organizations can prevent attacks such as application repackaging, runtime manipulation and intellectual property theft.
To protect against tampering is critical for businesses looking to safeguard proprietary code, to maintain user confidence and defend against the financial and reputational damage caused by cloned or compromised applications.
The falsification of an application’s code poses significant risks for both companies and their users. The major threats include:
Cloned or falsified applications not only erode customer confidence, but can also steal intellectual property and damage brand reputation. The attackers use repackaging to redistribute fake applications containing malicious code, hurting both users and organizations.
Through runtime manipulation, the attackers can bypass the security features, analyze vulnerabilities and misuse the software. This leaves the door perfectly open for exploit opportunities such as unauthorized access and data breaches.
The value of a company's applications can represent years of investment in innovation. In the absence of robust anti-breach measures, criminals can extract and reuse your valuable proprietary algorithms, assets or trade secrets for financial gain or competitive advantage.
Get advanced anti-tampering protection with XTD.
XTD embeds thousands of micro-checks into the functional code of your application, resulting in a deeply integrated layer of protection. This exponentially makes it more difficult for attackers to bypass security without being detected.
Anti-tampering technology can be tailored to your specific use cases. With XTD, you can refine your application's response to threats, and adjust security measures in line with your own organization's risk tolerance.
XTD moves critical code out of the virtual machine, allowing applications to detect any malicious manipulation and protect Java or Kotlin applications.
For iOS applications, XTD directly injects anti-tampering checks into the assembly code. This approach ensures robust, language-independent protection for applications developed in C, C++, Objective-C or Swift.
XTD's patented zero-code integration technology makes it easy to get started quickly. Protect your applications without additional development effort, ensuring rapid deployment and robust defenses.
XTD shields applications against fake applications designed to copy legitimate ones. This is achieved thanks to a combination of techniques, such as application integrity checks and anti-tampering detection, ensuring that only legitimate applications can be executed. Fake applications designed to usurp your brand identity or steal user data - are detected and blocked. This maintains customer trust and safeguards brand reputation and intellectual property.
XTD proactively protects against runtime manipulation, which can alter the execution of a running application. It combines real-time monitoring along with techniques such as anti-tampering and anti-debugging to guarantee protection against attackers manipulating application code during execution. That is essential to maintain application integrity and prevent any vulnerabilities from being exploited.
With XTD, intellectual property and sensitive application code are heavily protected against theft. Adding code obfuscation, encryption and runtime protection makes it more difficult for attackers to reverse engineer the application or to extract proprietary algorithms and data. This is essential for preserving a competitive advantage and safeguarding company proprietary assets.
XTD secures in-app communication flows to-and-from backend servers, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive databases and systems. It safeguards user authentification protocols, ensuring that attackers cannot exploit weak authentication processes to gain access to backend resources.
Banking and financial applications are primary targets for attackers aiming to manipulate transactions or to access sensitive customer data. anti-tampering technology makes these applications highly secure during execution, preventing any tampering that could lead to unauthorized access.
The tampering of entertainment platforms enables attackers to bypass payment barriers or manipulate access to content. XTD protects content and preserves revenue streams for digital media providers.
XTD offers comprehensive, multi-layered protection that goes beyond traditional security measures. Featuring advanced code obfuscation, runtime monitoring and machine-learning threat detection, XTD keeps your business safe from ever-evolving hacking threats.
Preserve years of innovation by securing your application code against unauthorized access and theft.
Be assured that end users can always rely on the integrity of your application, preserving brand trust.
Avoid manipulations that expose customer information or weaken your application's authentication processes.
