Approov introduced release 2.7 of the Approov API Shielding platform which lets companies of all sizes adopt leading-edge, affordable API cybersecurity protections for mobile-based applications.

Approov aligns mobile app API security investments with the company's business growth and budget.

Healthcare - MV. "Getting the app and API protection wrong in the MV Medic app is not an option. The recent Brazilian Personal Data Privacy Regulation legislation means that our healthcare institution customers could suffer from significant fines if we didn't meet our security goals. When we developed the Medic app, we pentested the app and the APIs which service the app, and one of our pilot customers expressed concerns about giving access to patients' Electronic Health Records on a mobile device."

"Approov plugged an immediate API security hole which pentesting had exposed in our platform, and we calculate that the adoption of Approov will bring us a 10x RoI considering lost sales and the cost of an internal development. We are so convinced by the need for leading-edge security that we are now planning to add Approov into all of our healthcare apps," said Tiago Calado, Product and Development Manager at MV. Shift left and shield right, without false positives and extreme expense: Approov 2.7 delivers run-time shielding that protects APIs from attacks, isolating mobile apps against data theft and operation service blocking threats that mobile app hardening cannot address.

Approov 2.7 delivers immediate, easy and secure app API protection services that also provide and protect an optimal customer experience.

David Stewart, CEO of Approov, said: "Approov 2.7 was developed for organizations that lack the time, expertise and budgets to deploy hard-to-manage backend bot /API security solutions, and for those who may be concerned about the potential impact of app/API protections on customer-experience. This last year, we've all seen just how foundational integrated mobile applications and services are to the fabric of our daily lives. We have also seen the security gaps arising from our collective increased dependence on mobile app APIs, and with Approov 2.7, we effectively address them."
