According to , “financial institutions offering mobile banking for businesses increased dramatically from 24 percent in 2011 to 64 percent in 2012.”
As the financial industry continues its expansion into mobile financial services, such as peer-to-peer banking transactions, remote wallet/credit card payments or internal mobile apps, the underlying software is subject to a new array of threats that compromise the application-s overall integrity, regardless of operating system.
As part of a multi-OS defense strategy, financial services are evolving their mobile security framework by incorporating self-defense and tamper-resistance security mechanisms to protect against reverse-engineering and tampering attacks. Without this layer, hackers can easily remove or modify the critical security and business logic within the app that safeguards the company-s digital assets and can result in fraud, malware or compromise data integrity.
