[Product introduction] A mobile app security solution with the security technology from NAVER and LINE, App Safer!
Hello, this is NAVER Cloud Platform on ncloud.com,
the cloud that anyone can easily start using.
Would you like to protect your mobile application against various threats like tampering of binary and memory, and hooking?🔍
If your answer is yes, do pay attention to App Safer, which is a security solution for mobile applications where powerful security and detection technologies that NAVER and LINE are using are applied!
I’ll walk you through from why you’d need a mobile application security solution to App Safer’s features and advantages. 👀
Security for compliance vs Security for true protection
After the emergence of smartphones, so many different services are being released as mobile applications. Our quality of life improved as most of daily life could fit into your hand, from banking to searching and shopping, even gaming.
HOWEVER! We shouldn’t forget that there’s that much more cyber attack attempts for mobile applications. There are more and more attempts to tamper with applications, compromise mobile security, and get unjust profits through hacking.
Which is why! It’s crucial for you to have “security compliance” through which security vulnerabilities are analyzed and tested before a mobile application is released.
In particular, applications that provide electronic financial services have even stricter compliance rules as they may be exposed to extensive damage if important information related to financial transactions is stolen, or information about financial transactions gets tampered. 💥
Security compliance analyzes a mobile application to see the security features it has built in in order for the application to maintain a safe running environment from various security threats.
However, most security compliances only checks whether there are certain security features or not, so it’s hard to review the actual performance of those security features one by one. 😥 If minimal security features are mounted on an application just to get a security compliance certificate, no application would ever be 100% safe from advanced security threats.
App Safer! Robust security features on top of guaranteed compliance
App Safer is a mobile application security solution with the technology to keep your application “truly safe,” while providing various features that meet requirements of security compliances.
What security features does it have?
Shall we find out what security features App Safer has? There are four main features in App Safer.
1️⃣ Source code protection
2️⃣ Real-time protection
3️⃣ Anti-virus
4️⃣ Service management
- See the table below for major features provided for each and the list of supported OSs.
Like so, App Safer provides a variety of security features that fully meet the compliance criteria.
How is it different from other similar solutions?
I’ll show you in comparison with solutions from other companies to help you understand.
App Safer has the mobile security detection technology that is already being used in NAVER and LINE services applied, allowing for even more stable and powerful mobile application security.
The obfuscation feature, which is best known in the field of app security, sometimes prevents the app to run normally, and the user would have to make exceptions for a partial application scope. This is problematic because it makes it easier for hackers to attempt their attacks. App Safer doesn’t provide the exception feature to prevent the problem that occurs from making exceptions in obfuscation.
Instead, it takes two strategies:
1️⃣ Package rebuilding
2️⃣ Dynamic Symbol Resolver (DSR)
to make sure your app runs smoothly without having to make exceptions.
App Safer’s obfuscation restructures the package and obfuscates resources,
increasing the difficulty of analysis.
In addition, the large obfuscation application range means that you can reduce the app’s size more, so that you can run the app even faster. Problems due to exceptions in obfuscation and wasted resources, all resolved at once! 😎
What are its advantages?
✨Maximized convenience for customers✨by simple installation and providing real-time detection and statistics
For App Safer, the customer doesn’t have to port API themselves. They can simply upload AAB and APK files to get App Safer’s security service applied automatically. You can quickly and conveniently use the service by using the web-based service console to register applications, manage settings, and view detection results at once.
Moreover, you can view security event detection history for applications registered on App Safer in real time, as well as detailed logs. They’re available intuitively through graphs and charts, allowing you to swiftly respond to different types of security threats and maximize operation efficiency. 👍
With the security technology of NAVER and LINE, a mobile app security solution you can use so easily: App Safer! Mobile applications in various areas including finance and game are already partnered with App Safer.
