Below we look at ways to identify app impersonation, tools to defend yourself from attacks and measures to put in place for better security.
In addition to the examples given above, app impersonation occurs in many other ways.
In reality, a genuine mobile app is a hacking toolbox for bad actors since they can use it to architect and implement fake versions of the app.
Mobile app attestation is a highly cryptographically secure method through which an app can be proved to be a genuine instance of the original app which was uploaded into the app stores.
The best defensive tool against app impersonation will protect user information as well as your APIs, so you can focus on building better features and growing your platform.
Every transaction should also be checked against a security policy that you define, providing an end-to-end security process for your app and your APIs.
