Additionally, there is no need to train security engineers in-house.

• Security Assessment

We receive numerous inquiries about security measures for applications, but some clients report that they have implemented security measures on their networks, leading them to forgo security measures for their applications. However, even if robust security measures are in place on the network, there is still a possibility of being subjected to cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering of the application). For example, as shown in the image, if the application installed on the device lacks protective measures, it can be analyzed by attackers. If they gain access to the means of accessing the server, they can carry out unauthorized access through the API, and in the worst-case scenario, there is a possibility of large amounts of sensitive data being extracted from the server. In other words, even if a strong protective barrier is established on the network, if the measures on the application side are insufficient, attacks can still be executed. Do you understand the necessity of protection for applications? Our company develops and sells a product called "CrackProof" that prevents cracking of applications. If you are considering security measures for your application, please feel free to contact us.

One of the security measures applied to apps is "obfuscation." Apps that do not implement security measures face a significantly higher risk of actions that can harm the distributing company, such as the theft of proprietary technology or the creation of unauthorized copy apps. Obfuscation is a technique that makes it difficult to analyze source code and similar materials in order to prevent such fraudulent activities, and some companies in the manufacturing industry also implement it as a method of app protection. However, is obfuscation alone sufficient for app security measures? Obfuscation has a certain effect on app protection, but it is merely a "technique to make things difficult to read" and is just one of the measures, so it cannot be said that it is sufficient on its own. By using other security measures in conjunction, apps can be protected from multiple angles, allowing for safer distribution. Our security tool, CrackProof, protects apps from various attacks. Therefore, it becomes possible to safeguard apps from attacks that cannot be fully defended against by obfuscation alone. If you are concerned about security measures for your app, including obfuscation, please feel free to contact us.
