Mobile apps are new cyber crime attack vector

06.08.2012

RSA boasts a combination of very experienced anti-fraud experts and a proven, propriety threat-detection infrastructure that is geared towards helping organisations gain visibility into the mobile app landscape.

The RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service can proactively manage risk to business by providing visibility into mobile app-based threats. This proactive approach helps ensure online app stores are constantly monitored and timely action is taken against rogue mobile app threats.

Available immediately worldwide, this service provides comprehensive app store monitoring for all major app stores.

"Despite the best efforts of app store operators to police their own catalogs for rogue apps, the potential damage posed by a Trojan app using a company's brand image cannot be understated," said Chris Hazelton, research director, mobile & wireless, 451 Research. "Active monitoring of app stores will help organisations stay ahead of potential mobile app threats that leverage legitimate brands to target consumers for malware distribution and phishing."
