Appdome launches world's first agentless mobile defence solution

Singapore-based firm Appdome has announced the world's first agentless Mobile EDR and MTD solution, expanding their offering as a leading provider of mobile app defence.

Appdome MobileEDR, a enterprise mobile app protection service, consolidates Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) capabilities into a singular, agentless product. With more than 300 developed defences, this revolutionary platform provides comprehensive real-time mobile threat and attack detection, deep mobile device inspection, and anywhere enforcement, ensuring enterprise networks and resources stay safe from malware, and supply chain threats.

Appdome's innovative service removes the need for intrusive software agents, like additional apps or profiles, to be installed on user devices – a common requirement of early EDR and MTD solutions that often raised privacy concerns among employees and significantly slowed adoption rates. By creating an agentless solution that requires no time-consuming server or SDK implementation, Appdome's MobileEDR offers a novel and robust enterprise-level protection system that will not be hampered by user reluctance or derailed by technical complications and should result in better adoption and protection.

Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst with IT-Harvest, commented, "The Appdome approach gives organisations the full power of Mobile EDR and MTD, including protection, response, and visibility without the friction of SDK, server, and agent-based approaches." This sentiment is echoed by Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO of Appdome, who stated, "SolarWinds taught all of us that malware on a mobile device can compromise an enterprise network and to protect the enterprise network, you need broad adoption and persistence in your mobile EDR/MTD solution. It does no good if its not used or it can be turned off."

Appdome's MobileEDR ultimately provides enterprises with a much more extensive range of protection features than previous offerings. Features include In-App Enterprise Delivery, In-Use Mobile Threat Inspection, Broadest Mobile Threat Detection, Anywhere Enforcement, Adaptive Mobile Trust, Appdome ThreatSource, and Appdome ThreatScope Mobile XDR. These functions cater to a wide array of needs, covering everything from geolocation compliance and anti-bot defences to real-time threat detection and the highest level of security against attempts at reverse engineering or other malicious attacks.

"Enterprises need more flexible and agile ways to stay ahead of mobile threats, malware, NSOs, and protect their employees and networks effectively," opined Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer at Appdome. "MobileEDR is the only mobile EDR and MTD that goes beyond the basic device inspection to include geo-compliance, social engineering defences and more. We can't wait to get this product into the hands of enterprises everywhere."

Appdome will be demonstrating this technology at the RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco, showcasing how Appdome MobileEDR is set to alter the mobile app protection landscape and offer enhanced mobile app security solutions to businesses worldwide.
