Case Study: Global Technology Provider secures mobile devices and thwarts fake-app malware with Proofpoint Mobile Defense

Global Technology Provider - Customer Case Study

A global technology provider needed to ensure that mobile phones used for company business were free from threats. The company's IT team wanted to extend their security posture to employee mobile devices and detect any apps or services that could compromise credentials or data.

Proofpoint Mobile Defense conducted an assessment that uncovered a suspicious app linked to the "DarkSideLoader" web store, a fake marketplace mimicking official app stores to distribute credential‑stealing malware. Proofpoint shared the findings with Apple and Google, and the company reports improved mobile security and continuous protection as a result.
