Verimatrix Launches Triple-Threat Initiative to Enhance Mobile App Security
In response to the growing challenges posed by the widespread use of mobile applications, Verimatrix has introduced its Triple-Threat Initiative, a comprehensive strategy designed to bolster mobile app security. With the average smartphone user now interacting with around 80 apps, the need for stronger security measures has never been more pressing. Recent high-profile breaches, such as sophisticated overlay attacks within mobile apps, highlight the critical need to address vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access and compromise sensitive data, including personal banking information.
Verimatrix’s Cybersecurity Microsite: A Resource Hub for Professionals
As part of its commitment to tackling emerging cybersecurity threats, Verimatrix has launched a dedicated cybersecurity microsite (verimatrixcybersecurity.com). This platform is a valuable resource for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Security Operations Center (SOC) teams, fraud departments, and developers looking for up-to-date information on mobile app security. The microsite features a variety of multimedia resources, including videos and whitepapers, providing a comprehensive knowledge base to help navigate the complex landscape of mobile app security.
Introducing VMX Labs for Continuous Threat Intelligence
To further enhance its cybersecurity offerings, Verimatrix has established VMX Labs, led by Klaus Schenk, Senior Vice President of Security and Threat Research at Verimatrix. VMX Labs is dedicated to providing continuous cyber threat advisories, along with expert insights and commentary. This initiative aims to deliver valuable information to both application developers and users, focusing on emerging threats and effective strategies for mitigating them.
Revamped Extended Threat Defense (XTD) Product: Enhanced User Experience and Capabilities
A key component of the Triple-Threat Initiative is the redesign of Verimatrix’s Extended Threat Defense (XTD) product. The updated XTD offers an improved user experience (UX) and design, enabling customers to prevent, detect, respond to, and predict threats targeting mobile applications and the connected devices essential to critical infrastructure. Verimatrix has also expanded the product’s detection capabilities to include network-level risks, providing insights into application-specific vulnerabilities and safeguarding the connections that are vital to an organization’s critical infrastructure.
CEO Asaf Ashkenazi on the Triple-Threat Initiative: Elevating Mobile App Security
Commenting on these developments, Verimatrix CEO Asaf Ashkenazi expressed his enthusiasm for the new UX in the Extended Threat Defense product. He emphasized the importance of Verimatrix XTD in protecting the crucial connection between businesses and their customers. With mobile applications becoming increasingly central to customer interactions, Ashkenazi highlighted the essential role Verimatrix plays in securing mobile app ecosystems and rapidly responding to emerging threats, including zero-day attacks. As he put it, “Verimatrix XTD protects the connection of businesses to their consumers — and there is nothing more important than that.”
