Mobile Data Protection (MDP) Software offer a wide range of functions and protection policies to protect mobile platforms including laptops, notebooks, removable media, smart phones, and more, from data loss or corruption, unauthorized access, and malware. Some services also protect the user from lost data should the physical device itself become lost, stolen, or corrupted and unusable, and offer cloud backup and data protection for this eventuality.

Introduction: What is Mobile Application Protection?

When it comes to mobile app security, the key to success is having multiple layers of protection that reinforce one another. 

Having multiple layers of security will keep your app protected even if one layer is bypassed. 

Multiple layers of protection can only be achieved through well-designed and well-implemented app security techniques. 

So, how do you know where to start? 

Obfuscation and RASP (runtime application self-protection) are the two interlinked concepts critical for implementing the most comprehensive, multi-layered protection for your mobile apps.

Control Flow Obfuscation: What is Mobile Application Protection?

Here’s a hypothetical scenario: A threat actor wants to get premium features from an app but does not want to pay for them. So, the attacker locates the function performing the license check and makes an educated guess on which direction in the flow leads to the functionality of those features and bypasses payment. From there, they can edit the function to always allow them to access premium features. 

Control flow obfuscation replaces the control flow with an equivalent, but significantly more complex control flow, making it impossible to understand a code sequence in the app. Alongside string encryption, the attacker couldn’t even guess where to find a specific flow.
