Promon Shield for Mobile

What it does

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.

How it works

The product layers multiple defenses into the application binary, protecting the app at rest and at runtime. It detects rooting, jailbreaking, debuggers, hooking frameworks, repackaging, screenshots, 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, DEX bytecode encryption with in-app whitebox cryptography key protection, and secure local storage. Coverage spans Android, iOS, Chrome OS, macOS, HarmonyOS, and Amazon Fire OS, and extends to protecting on-device AI models from tampering and theft.
