Securing Mobile Healthcare Apps and their APIs
Defend Sensitive Data and Protect your APIs from Attack
Attacks on your APIs
Bad actors use BOTS and automated scripts to attack your APIs directly, exposing patient data using exploits such as BOLA, and potentially degrading or overwhelming your back-end services.
Approov Solution
Approov ensures that traffic destined for your API is always coming from the legitimate mobile app and not a third-party tool. This ensures synthetic traffic generated by account takeover (ATO) tools and other API clients is blocked, protecting you from DDoS attacks. Traffic from bots and automations are eliminated while no valid app traffic is rejected.
Man-in-the-middle Attacks
You can't depend on patients and healthcare professionals being on secure networks. If your TLS is not implemented properly, third parties can steal secrets and manipulate your APIs.
Approov Solution
Approov makes sure best-practices for TLS implementation are in place all the time, ensuring all API calls are protected and man-in-the-middle attacks are eliminated. Approov provides easy administration of certificates and makes it easy to ensure pinning is implemented correctly, eliminating the concern over apps being blocked when problems arise with a certificate.
Compromised Environment
Even if your app's authenticity checks out, it may still be running in a compromised mobile client environment.
Approov Solution
Approov detects rooted/jailbroken devices, apps running in debuggers or on emulators, or malicious instrumentation frameworks manipulating your apps. You choose the security policy that meets your needs. Security changes are rolled out over the air without requiring app updates.
Stolen user credentials
Bad actors perform credential stuffing attacks on your APIs.
Approov Solution
Approov eliminates volumetric credential stuffing attacks on your APIs by restricting access only to genuine instances of your app.
Ensure Compliance
Monitor and Report
Demonstrate controls are in place and effective.
Approov Solution
App attestation traffic monitoring and security failure analytics are available for both command-line and graphical analysis. Anonymized data provides information on the cause of the security failures and information about the app, device, and network environments.
Control your Security
React to new threats and control policy.
Approov Solution
Approov's security layers operate frictionlessly for your users. Secure over-the-air capabilities update security policies, deliver enhancements, upgrade or rotate certificates, blacklist specific devices, or deregister specific app versions.
Easily Integrate and Operate
Seamlessly integrate with other controls to create a unified solution.
Approov Solution
Easy SDK integration on the frontend is combined with industry standard token checks on the backend. Approov integrates easily and seamlessly with your Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution. A wide range of existing mobile platforms and backend service integrations are provided. A unified command line interface provides easy DevSecOps integration into your existing developer and operations infrastructure.
