Side channel attacks are one of the most sophisticated methods hackers use to infiltrate mobile apps, by intercepting the signals emitted by mobile phones. Combating these advanced attacks requires an equally advanced response. This is why Build38 offers exclusive powerful cryptographic capabilities in its in-app protection software, supported by exclusive cloud-based defense mechanisms to effectively counter this increasingly prevalent threat.
Hackers employ side channel attacks to exploit information that is unintentionally leaked when a mobile app is in use. These attacks do not target app code directly, but rather focus on analyzing the patterns or signals it generates during execution, such as power consumption, electromagnetic emissions, or timing variations.
By observing these side channel signals, hackers can deduce sensitive information like cryptographic keys or user inputs, without ever accessing an app’s source code. Side channel attacks are sly and sophisticated, relying on the subtle nuances of device behavior, making them a powerful method for extracting confidential data and compromising mobile app security.
Build38’s comprehensive approach to mobile app security seamlessly integrates on-device protection powered by strong cryptography with cloud-based app hardening and threat intelligence mechanisms, providing a robust defense against side channel attacks and various security threats to your mobile apps.
Our robust web interface allows every member of your team to monitor for security threats and get real-time alerts about suspected side-channel attacks. This allows them to take manual action as necessary, temporarily locking, then unlocking an app once a threat has been mitigated, or even permanently wiping it, if appropriate.
Using our intuitive no-code interface, your business team can effortlessly set up automated conditional triggers and rules, ensuring a fast and consistent response to future attacks based on well-defined, shared security policies.
In addition to the simple no-code responses to threats enabled by our DeviceAttest modules, your back-end developers can utilize our powerful API to communicate security incidents to your back-end application logic, and program designated triggers and automated responses directly into your back-end system.
Businesses worldwide trust Build38 with their mobile app security. Don’t just take our word for it—listen to what our customers have to say.
