Appdome

Appdome is a no-code mobile application security platform that protects Android and iOS apps without requiring developers to write code, integrate SDKs, or modify source. The platform uses patented Fusion technology to inject security, anti-fraud, anti-bot, and compliance protections directly into compiled app binaries through CI/CD pipelines.

The company offers over 400 individual defenses across categories including app security, fraud prevention, malware detection, bot defense, and geo-compliance. Appdome positions itself as an AI-native platform and has gained significant enterprise adoption in financial services, gaming, streaming, and retail verticals.

What is Appdome?

Traditional mobile security tools require developers to integrate SDKs, write protection logic, and manage ongoing maintenance. Appdome takes a different approach. The platform works on the finished app binary, meaning protection can be added after development is complete and without touching source code.

Development teams upload their APK, AAB, or IPA file, select the defenses they want through a web-based interface, and receive a protected build back. This entire process fits into existing CI/CD pipelines, so protected builds can ship automatically alongside regular releases.

Key Features

ONEShield Mobile RASP

ONEShield is Appdome’s runtime application self-protection layer. It detects and responds to threats while the app is running on a user’s device. The protection includes anti-tampering checks, anti-debugging measures, emulator detection, and defenses against hooking frameworks such as Frida, Xposed, and Magisk.

Unlike RASP solutions that require SDK integration, ONEShield is applied through Appdome’s no-code Fusion process. Protected apps gain runtime awareness without developers writing a single line of defense code.

ThreatScope Threat Intelligence

ThreatScope provides real-time visibility into the threats targeting your mobile apps in production. The dashboard monitors the active attack surface across devices, OS versions, geographies, and app releases, giving security teams data on what attacks are occurring and how defenses are performing.

The platform includes a threat analytics engine for segmenting and analyzing fraud attempts, account takeover events, and cyberattacks by application, API, or attack type.

Anti-Fraud and Bot Defense

Beyond traditional app security, Appdome addresses fraud and bot traffic at the mobile layer. The platform detects account takeover attempts, credential stuffing, automated bot activity, and social engineering attacks. These defenses work alongside the RASP protections so a single platform handles both security and fraud concerns.

Geo-Compliance

For apps that must enforce geographic restrictions (streaming services, gambling apps, region-locked content), Appdome provides fake GPS detection, VPN detection, and location verification. These protections prevent users from spoofing their location to bypass geographic access controls.

Getting Started

Platform Coverage

Appdome supports both Android and iOS platforms, including apps built with native frameworks and cross-platform tools like React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Ionic, Unity, and Xamarin. Protection extends to mobile SDKs as well as full applications.

When to Use Appdome

Appdome suits organizations that need broad mobile defense capabilities without the engineering overhead of integrating security SDKs. The no-code model appeals to teams where mobile security expertise is limited or where the goal is to protect many apps at scale without modifying each one individually.

The platform covers more ground than pure obfuscation tools like Guardsquare, extending into fraud, bots, and compliance. It sits alongside runtime protection tools like Talsec but takes a fundamentally different integration approach by working on compiled binaries rather than requiring SDK embedding.

Consider alternatives if you need deep code obfuscation at the compiler level (Guardsquare) or if your budget favors a free starting tier (Talsec’s freeRASP).
