Promon Shield for Mobile

Promon Shield for Mobile is a Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) and app shielding product that defends Android and iOS applications against tampering, reverse engineering, code injection, and malware. Its distinctive mechanism is post-compile integration: protection is wrapped around an already-built APK, AAB, or IPA in minutes, with no source code access or code changes. A cryptographic application binding ties the protection to the app, so attempts to remove or disable Shield cause the app to stop functioning.

The product layers multiple defenses into the application binary, providing protection both at rest and at runtime. It detects rooting, jailbreaking, debuggers, hooking frameworks, repackaging, screen overlays, and keyloggers, then responds according to configuration by blocking the action, terminating the app, or reporting the event to monitoring systems. Hardening includes execution flow control, process integrity checks, Android code obfuscation, and secure local storage. Coverage spans Android, iOS, Chrome OS, HarmonyOS, and Amazon Fire OS, and extends to protecting on-device AI models from tampering and theft. Raiffeisenbank uses Shield for Mobile to protect its eKonto banking app.

Promon maintains ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance, and its Trust Center documents DORA-aligned controls for EU financial services. The company was recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security 2024, and its protection technology originated from research at SINTEF and the University of Oslo. Shield for Mobile serves banks, fintechs, payment providers, gaming, and streaming companies, with Promon technology securing apps used by more than 2 billion people across over 500 customers.
