How well protected are your mobile apps? Pretty Secure? What about the mobile API they rely on? This could be the weakest link in 's AppSec armor. Data from Positive Technologies’ customers suggests as much as 15% of all traffic to the average mobile API comes from illegitimate sources.
Data scraping that attacks your bottom line
The more you secure your mobile apps, the more hackers are using automated scripts (bots) and modified or faked apps to bypass them and make direct calls to your mobile API.
Their target may be to scrape your data for competitive purposes, commit fraud, create fake accounts for phishing or spamming, or even to hijack your customers’ genuine accounts. All of these have serious implications for your revenue, costs and reputation.
So how come you’re not aware of this illegitimate traffic? Because your existing security systems probably can’t even see it!
