How to Protect Sideloaded Apps Easily and Effectively as EU DMA Takes Effect

In early 2024, the EU Digital Media Act (DMA) forced Google and Apple to allow sideloaded apps via alternative app stores. This change immediately reduced the effectiveness of the security mechanisms provided by these vendors.  

Alternative security approaches are urgently needed now that Google and Apple can no longer effectively prevent the theft of app intellectual property, or block illegal app copies and manipulation of apps at runtime.

In this webinar, we will explain the impact of the EU DMA on app security and present best practices to protect app IP and prevent runtime tampering, even when apps are sideloaded or come from alternative app stores. You will see how to futureproof the security of your apps using a straightforward, cross-platform solution, working on both iOS and Android.

By dedicating just one hour to this webinar, you'll gain insights into:

• How the EU Digital Markets Act exposes the limitations of Google and Apple mobile security.
• Why the two main challenges for mobile app security are: (1) The protection of intellectual property and the need for app shielding; and (2) Runtime threats to apps and the need for app attestation.
• How PreEmptive and Approov together provide an effective and easy-to-deploy security solution for mobile apps that is not dependent on Apple or Google. 

Join us on April 24th to learn how to quickly fortify and future proof your mobile app security posture.
