As Digital India embraces the proliferation of mobile devices and increased opportunities for innovation in the mobile ecosystem, there is a surge in online security threats. This necessitates a security system that protects the banks and customer information comprehensively.
What can be done to strengthen the banking mobile app security?
Here is an insight into prominent ways to improve the mobile app security for banking apps:
Run Time App Monitoring
As a banking institution, it isn't easy to be aware of how people use mobile applications and whether they are used on a secured network. When the Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) is incorporated into the application, it provides robust protection from all the vulnerabilities that can arise through various sources like unsecured networks, the use of a jailbroken device, the use of Anti-VPN, and proxy networks. With the RASP technology in action, you can be confident that your application is not exposed to any potential exploitation.
Enhanced Application Security with regulatory compliances
Ensuring application security is quintessential for banking mobile apps. We are living in a world where there are more possibilities and more perils as well. Complete application security is essential in preventing hacking, cloning, tampering, injecting malicious code and other exploitations to which your app is exposed to.
AppProtectt from Protectt.ai applies a sophisticated security layer that comprises app spoofing, unsecured keyboard detection, hooking frameworks detection, key-logger app detection, and blocking of spyware, riskware, and adware. All these security elements are crucial for mitigating application threats and providing a secure user experience.
Fraud Detection & Control
As many people prefer to perform banking activities and payment processing through mobile phones and tablets, there is a growing need for fraud-free and safe mobile applications. To maintain steady growth in the banking industry, it is crucial to pay close attention to ever evolving cyber threat landscape and utilizing fraud control measures that can protect customer data.
AppProtectt from Protectt.ai provides paramount security through functions like SMS forwarders and OTP sharing, key-logger app detection, stealing data through charging cables, screen sharing app, and remote access.
RBI Digital Payment Security Control Guidelines
Reserve Bank of India has published guidelines to ensure utmost security for growing digital payment landscape. Regulated Entities (RE) like commercial banks, payment banks, small finance banks and credit card issuing NBFCs are required to follow mandates for mobile application payment ecosystem. These mandates are released keeping security aspect in a view.
AppProtectt from Protectt.ai provides 50+ mobile cyber security features and comply with RBI Digital Payment Security Control guidelines.
In-Time Threat Detection
With the advancement in the cyber world, any technology that becomes popular attracts many unwanted threats. Spreading banking malware and Trojans is an extensively used tactic by hackers against financial institutions. With the use of analysis tools, hackers are able to manipulate the banking apps directly in realtime to put malicious code, redirect API calls, get access to user information, and get unauthorized access to user accounts.
Banking mobile applications are one technology that necessitates in-time threat detection to prevent colossal threats. As a banking application functions with numerous users, there can be many threats associated with various factors related to the use of the banking application. Protectt.ai has a live threat detection feature that informs the user if the network is unsafe or if there is any other threat while using the application.
