Appdome, a provider of mobile defense solutions, has expanded its Mobile Defense Platform to secure applications on emerging mobile platforms, including virtual reality (VR) headsets, wearables, augmented reality (AR) devices, and automotive operating systems. These platforms are gaining traction as consumers increasingly demand diverse mobile experiences.
“As we found in our recent 2024 Global Consumer Survey, the growth in mobile service usage is outpacing the use of web and online services in every geographic market,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO of Appdome. “Our customers are extending their mobile offerings to these new platforms and have asked us to secure these experiences.”
With more businesses adopting VR, AR, and IoT technologies, users are encountering new opportunities for engagement. However, these innovations come with risks. For example, wearables transmitting unencrypted health data and VR apps targeted by hackers demonstrate vulnerabilities in these systems.
“There’s a Big Bang going on in the mobile experience,” said Jamie Bertasi, chief customer officer at Appdome. “With our new AI-native capabilities, Appdome customers can enjoy strong security across all mobile-enabled platforms.”
The updated platform offers comprehensive protection against fraud, malware, and cyberattacks for apps on devices such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. By enabling app developers to safeguard their innovations, Appdome aims to support businesses as they expand into these fast-growing markets, strengthening trust and security for end users.
The expansion underscores the importance of proactive security measures as mobile-enabled platforms redefine the digital ecosystem.
