We receive numerous inquiries about security measures for applications, but some clients have implemented security on their networks and decide to forgo security for their applications. However, even if strong security measures are in place on the network, there is still a possibility of being subjected to cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering of the application). For example, as shown in the image, if the application installed on the device does not have protective measures, it can be analyzed by attackers. If they gain access to the means of accessing the server, they can perform unauthorized access through the API, and in the worst-case scenario, there is a possibility of a large amount of sensitive data being extracted from the server. In other words, even if you have built a strong protective wall on the network, if the measures on the application side are insufficient, an attack can still be executed. Do you understand the necessity of protection for applications? Our company develops and sells a product called "CrackProof" that prevents cracking of applications. If you are considering security measures for your application, please feel free to contact us.

One of the security measures applied to apps is "obfuscation." Apps that do not implement security measures are at a significantly higher risk of actions that can bring disadvantages to the distributing company, such as the theft of proprietary technology or the creation of unauthorized copy apps. Obfuscation is a technique that makes it difficult to analyze source code and similar materials to prevent such fraudulent activities, and some companies in the manufacturing industry also implement it as a method of app protection. However, is obfuscation alone sufficient for app security measures? Obfuscation has a certain effect on app protection, but it is merely a "technique to make things difficult to read" and is just one of the measures, so it cannot be said that it is sufficient on its own. By combining it with other security measures and protecting the app from multiple angles, it will be possible to distribute it more safely. Our security tool, CrackProof, protects apps from various attacks. Therefore, it becomes possible to protect the app from attacks that cannot be fully defended against by obfuscation alone. If you are concerned about security measures for your app, including obfuscation, please feel free to contact us.

In recent years, the digitalization of devices has progressed in various fields, and the trend of realizing diverse functions through apps is spreading in the manufacturing industry. Consequently, there has been an increase in damages such as the decline of corporate profits and credibility due to the sale of illegally modified apps resulting from cracking (the act of unauthorized analysis and alteration), as well as the leakage of proprietary technologies and know-how contained in these apps. When apps that interface with company devices are modified, and pirate apps that enable unintended functions circulate, the safety of the devices themselves becomes a concern. Even with devices that utilize new technologies like drones, cracking of the apps can lead to the theft of proprietary technologies and the sale of imitation products, resulting in a wide range of potential damages. One of the reasons for this is that information related to cracking and easy-to-use illegal tools for beginners are readily available on the internet. The security product "CrackProof" aims to prevent such cracking damages to apps.
