What are App Protection Layers (Multi-Layered Protection)?

App Protection Layers (Multi-Layered Protection)

Definition

Multi-layered security employs advanced techniques such as code obfuscation, encryption, and white-box cryptography to make reverse engineering nearly impossible, ensuring that an app’s sensitive data and logic remain secure. It can also include real-time monitoring tools that can detect and respond to attacks as they happen, providing dynamic and adaptive protection.

In contrast, wrapper-only app protection offers superficial, static security, often giving a false sense of safety. Wrappers do not meet the rigorous app protection standards required by finance, healthcare, and government. Layered app shielding does.

Real-World Examples

An app shielded in layers such as obfuscation, RASP, and/or whitebox cryptography is a more robust and professional way to secure today’s most popular apps.
