Case Study: Major Global Financial Institution secures mobile peer-to-peer banking and prevents tampering with Arxan Technologies

Major Global Bank Trusts Arxan to Secure Mobile Applications

Major Global Financial Institution wanted to roll out a feature-rich mobile banking app with peer-to-peer payments but faced the uncharted risk of on-device attacks, reverse engineering and tampering across multiple smartphone platforms. Although server-side security, two-factor authentication and network protocols were strong, the bank engaged Arxan Technologies and its Arxan Application Protection to secure the app’s critical cryptography and authentication routines on iOS, Android and other form factors.

Arxan Technologies implemented protection around the mobile app library, making the app tamper-resistant and defending against reverse-engineering, malware and MATE (man-at-the-end) attacks. As a result, the bank can confidently deploy new features and app versions while preserving customers’ sensitive financial and personal data and application integrity; Arxan’s guarding technology is also proven at scale, protecting applications on more than 500 million devices.
