Pay-Per-Use Models are Growing

The transportation mobility market is shifting consumers from traditional vehicle ownership to a pay-per-use model. Mobile apps are the primary touchpoint for accessing these services and providing new business opportunities. Failure to properly secure APIs leads to system breaches, unauthorized access to private data, and ultimately loss of customers.

Protect Your Critical Resources

Car sharing is designed for consumers who want to rent a vehicle for a short period of time, pay only for usage, and access a car at any hour. Approov Mobile App Protection is 'key' to this model:

Digital Key Extraction

Eavesdroppers or malware running on consumer devices try to intercept key authorization during the communication process used to unlock and start vehicles.

Approov Solution

Blocks malicious exfiltration attempts, but allows consumers running a clean, authentic app to access their vehicles even in the absence of internet connectivity.

Denial or Delay of Service

Attackers can flood your network with valid looking API requests that will tie up your services.

Approov Solution

Authenticates apps ensuring that legitimate API requests come only from your mobile app. Malicious traffic is easily dropped before reaching your backend services.

Grow Safely Within the Mobility Ecosystem

The transportation market is transforming, the ecosystem is maturing, and your partnerships are evolving through shared-use models, autonomous vehicles, door-to-door multi-modal journeys — making API security all the more critical. Threats include:

Unlicensed Apps

When ready, expand the number of legitimate apps that can access your mobility services by licensing third-party apps while continuing to block all others.

Approov Solution

Authenticates licensed apps and drops all other traffic.

API Security Flaws

Any weaknesses in your APIs will be discovered and exploited by hackers.

Approov Solution

Blocks API probing and improper usage by securing communications between your app and backend service in addition to locking down your mobility APIs to authorized apps only.
