Case Study: Sixt achieves stronger API security and data control with Approov

Sixt secures mobile app APIs and controls data sharing with Approov

Sixt, a global car rental company, faced a challenge with data scraping. Aggregators were easily extracting vehicle availability and location data through their API, and there was a concern these third parties could potentially reserve and access cars. To regain control over their data sharing and protect customer information, Sixt sought a solution from Approov to authenticate that API requests were coming from their genuine mobile apps.

Approov provided mobile app authentication, allowing Sixt to secure their API. The solution included layers of protection such as Man-in-the-Middle detection and instrumentation framework detection to prevent reverse engineering. This gave Sixt granular control over what data is shared and with whom, securing their customer data and protecting their brand. The Approov team provided ongoing support as Sixt continued to strengthen its API security.
