Build38 provides robust protection against security attacks targeting jailbroken (on iOS) and rooted (on Android) devices. We achieve this with a unique combination of advanced in-app self-defense features, bolstered by our exclusive cloud-based security capabilities.
Our cloud-based active app hardening services augment the security of mobile apps remotely by continuously validating device binding information and individualizing app instances using cryptographic keys. Furthermore, our three distinctive cloud-based threat intelligence modules enable supervised, automated, and programmable responses to security threats targeting your jailbroken and rooted devices.
Very often, it is the end user who intentionally jailbreaks or roots their device, in an attempt to install paid apps for free, or access system settings beyond what is typically possible on non-rooted devices. However, this action significantly increases the vulnerability of all apps running on the device to potential security breaches by hackers.
Hackers target devices that have been rooted or jailbroken to gain administrative privileges on the device in question, allowing them to circumvent its security mechanisms and manipulate mobile apps. By exploiting vulnerabilities or weaknesses in a device’s operating system, hackers can bypass manufacturer restrictions and gain full access to system files and settings.
By focusing on rooted and jailbroken devices with weakened security mechanisms, attackers can install malicious apps, alter existing apps, or evade app store security checks, facilitating malware deployment, sensitive data theft, or compromising the device’s overall security. And because rooted and jailbroken devices provide attackers with a higher level of control over the device, they can often serve as a precursor to more advanced mobile app attacks.
Businesses worldwide trust Build38 with their mobile app security. Don’t just take our word for it—listen to what our customers have to say.
