Guardsquare Mobile App Protection Suite

What it does

The Guardsquare Mobile App Protection Suite is a multi-layer mobile application security platform for Android and iOS combining Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), compiler-based code hardening, Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST), and runtime threat monitoring for financial services, healthcare, and gaming organizations. Its distinctive mechanism is a polymorphic, compiler-based protection model: rather than applying post-build SDK overlays, obfuscation and RASP checks are injected directly during compilation, generating cryptographically unique builds with every release so that reverse-engineered attack signatures become obsolete before the next deployment.

How it works

The suite comprises four integrated modules. DexGuard (Android) and iXGuard (iOS) apply compile-time hardening via name obfuscation, data encryption, control flow obfuscation, and code virtualization, then inject RASP checks that detect debuggers, rooted and jailbroken environments, emulators, and overlay attacks at runtime. AppSweep performs MAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines using taint analysis and data flow algorithms, surfacing vulnerabilities by OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) category. ThreatCast collects runtime threat telemetry server-side and forwards events to SIEM platforms via webhooks. Customer deployments include major banking institutions across North America, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

Credentials and traction

Guardsquare's mobile app protection technology holds EMVCo Software Protection Tools certification for software-based mobile payments.
