Lausanne – Switzerland, Singapore, Munich – Germany – June 4th, 2020
Build38 GmbH, the global provider of Mobile Application Security made in Germany, is partnering with CYSEC SA from Switzerland to offer a fully-integrated solution combining mobile and back-end deployments for Enterprise customers.
Mobile app fraud is on the rise with a 70% increase year over year, jeopardising business models, revenue streams and endangering customer data and company secrets. Build38 has developed an app shielding and mobile threat detection solution for the hardening of apps , identification of attacks and prevention of fraud. The Build38 solution is available as a service and protects mobile applications across various industries including automotive, banking, insurance, public transportation and healthcare.
Cryptography and secure key-generation are the key enablers of the innovative and cutting-edge next generation AI-based app protection and management platform called T.A.K (Trusted Application Kit).
While the security application is executed on the smartphone, the use of a back-end fully delivers intelligence and attack resilience. While some Build38 customers choose to run it on the public cloud, depending on the region, some decide to deploy it in a dedicated environment as the application is considered security-critical, following the larger trend of the hybrid cloud model. The hybrid cloud approach consists of running all sensitive software in a separate environment (in a secured cloud or in a physical server) that provides better protection and more control. Safer deployments may also be required to comply to national regulations specifying that certain data cannot leave the country or must be handled following strict security standards.
In order to build and deploy a security-sensitive application with critical data in the back-end, an organisation must integrate a range of security tools and components. Such patchwork solutions are today difficult to manage, hard to scale, and prone to security weaknesses. The market lacks an all-inclusive, certified and integrated cybersecurity solution.
CYSEC provides such an all-inclusive cybersecurity solution that integrates all the components needed to deploy rapidly a secured back-end infrastructure. This is achieved by integrating all the security components in a unique certified appliance that abstracts the application layer by running containerised software using the modern virtualisation tools like Docker, Kubernetes, etc.
As a result, ARCA offers an unprecedented combination of security performance and ease of deployment, allowing companies to benefit from the best protection without changing the tools they currently use.
It was natural for CYSEC and Build38 to enter into a partner agreement. Both companies are joining forces to integrate the T.A.K application into the secured environment ARCA and offer it as a fully integrated and ready-to-use package, either on premises on a physical ARCA server or as a service from the CYSEC data centre in Switzerland.
The joint solution will combine the benefits of the Build38 mobile app protection with the secured back-end implementation on ARCA streamlining the efforts for deploying them.
Christian Schläger, CEO at Build38 GmbH: “We’re delighted to be able to offer to our customers a fully-integrated package of our T.A.K. application on the ARCA backend infrastructure. We want to be able to provide the implementation model that suits the best our customers needs, being on the cloud or on premises. We‘re having more and more requests for deployments on premises and ARCA beats all competition by offering a secured back-end infrastructure without the pain that usually goes with it.”
Patrick Trinkler, CEO at CYSEC SA said: “Mobile security is definitely a burning issue for many industries and the Build38 in-app protection provides a compelling solution. We’re very happy to offer Build38 customers a secured and compliant back-end implementation of the T.A.K. application with the same process and efforts as deploying it on a public cloud.”
