updates in every app release within the DevOps CI/CD pipeline. Utilize real-time threat
intelligence to guide data-driven decisions on the most effective protections for consumers.

4. Real-time threat monitoring: Track real-time threats to mobile apps and environments to validate
deployed protections, empower consumers to proactively counteract attacks and swiftly identify
and respond to emerging threats.

5. No-code, no-SDK mobile platform integration: Enhance DevSecOps processes by incorporating
a no-code, no-SDK mobile platform for increased agility and control. Certify that security, anti-
fraud and anti-malware protections are seamlessly included in every Android and iOS release
without burdening the development team with additional work.

The landscape of mobile app security is rapidly evolving and mirroring the growing reliance on mobile
applications. Consumer expectations are clear – they demand comprehensive protection against cyber
threats, fraud and malware. Developers, in turn, bear the responsibility of fortifying these digital gateways
to ensure a secure and seamless user experience. By adopting a proactive approach, transparent
communication and integrating advanced security measures into their development processes,
developers can not only meet but exceed consumer expectations, thereby ensuring the sustained
success and trust of their mobile applications in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
