This innovative addition expands our suite of application cybersecurity solutions, further strengthening defenses against emerging network-related threats.
For years we have been helping to identify and mitigate cyberthreats. With the introduction of our network monitoring tool, our platform now provides enhanced capabilities to detect and block communication with malicious servers through advanced features like DNS cache analysis, phishing site monitoring, and malware command-and-control (C2) detection.
These new features deliver powerful, real-time protection against increasingly sophisticated attacks targeting mobile applications.
What is the best way to monitor your network?
Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ is designed to provide comprehensive protection by addressing three major network threats:
1. DNS cache analysis
This feature closely examines the DNS cache within mobile apps, which contains a record of internet addresses the app has contacted.
By analyzing this data, the system can quickly identify if an app has connected to a suspicious or malicious server. This proactive analysis helps stop harmful communication at its source, preventing apps from interacting with potential cybercriminals.
2. Phishing site monitoring
Phishing remains a prevalent and dangerous threat, especially for apps handling sensitive information, such as banking or e-commerce platforms.
Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ actively tracks and blocks connections to known phishing sites, ensuring that mobile apps do not inadvertently expose user credentials or personal data to fraudulent actors.
3. Malware command-and-control (C2) detection
Mobile apps are prime targets for malware, which can be used by attackers to control devices and steal data.
The new C2 detection feature identifies and prevents malware from establishing communication with command-and-control servers. By halting this communication, Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ helps prevent data theft and other malicious activities, even when a device has already been compromised.
Take your mobile app security with network monitoring tools
Smartphones and mobile apps have become central to everyday activities, whether it’s banking, shopping, or socializing. All these network devices often contain vast amounts of personal data, making them high-value targets for cyberattacks.
Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ ensures that both users and their data are protected from sophisticated attacks aimed at exploiting network vulnerabilities.
By integrating seamlessly with the existing Verimatrix XTD services, the new feature provides mobile app developers and security teams with a unified solution to safeguard their applications against a wide array of network-based threats.
The ability to detect and neutralize attacks in real-time significantly enhances the security measures available to Verimatrix customers.
Industry-leading innovation for enhanced cybersecurity
Tom Powledge, Head of Cybersecurity Business at Verimatrix, emphasized the importance of this new development:
“The ability to quickly identify and neutralize network-based threats is crucial. Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ addresses this need by providing real-time detection of malicious activities, from phishing attempts to sophisticated malware communications. This feature provides mobile app developers and security teams with essential tools to enhance their application security protections and ensure regulatory compliance.”
Multi-layered protection for today’s digital world
We made a commitment to proactive security through this latest innovation, which offers a multi-layered approach to protecting both critical network infrastructure and sensitive user data. Whether through detecting malicious servers, blocking phishing sites, or thwarting malware communications, our new network monitoring tool represents a significant leap forward in mobile app security.
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, Verimatrix remains at the forefront, empowering businesses to stay ahead of potential risks with cutting-edge technology. Verimatrix XTD Network Monitoring™ provides a vital tool for organizations looking to secure their applications in an increasingly connected world.
