Prominent African and Caribbean mobile bank overcomes security crisis with Build38

A prominent African mobile bank faced a critical security emergency when hackers used PC-based smartphone emulators to make unauthorized withdrawals via its mobile banking app, causing financial and reputational damage. The bank urgently needed a solution to mitigate the attacks and turned to Build38, implementing its Mobile App Security Platform on a temporary license.

Build38’s solution, which included its Mobile App Self-Protection and Active Hardening, was implemented globally in just three weeks, immediately stopping all attacks. This rapid deployment eradicated security breaches and resulted in a 50% reduction in mobile attacks. The bank has remained free of significant security incidents since the implementation, confirming the success of Build38’s platform.
