 "RSA Service Helps Detect And Shut Down Rogue Mobile Apps")
To counter the emergence of malicious and unauthorised apps appearing on mobile app stores, RSA, The Security Division of EMC, has introduced the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service designed to detect and take action against rogue mobile apps that attempt to serve up malware or phishing attacks.
RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is an anti-fraud solution designed to detect and shut down rogue mobile apps. By combining the industry’s most experienced anti-fraud experts with a proven, propriety threat-detection infrastructure, RSA helps organisations obtain visibility into the mobile app landscape, giving their fraud teams the ability to understand this new threat vector. RSA’s new service helps organisations discover fraudulent mobile apps that are leveraging customer brands to infect end users or steal credentials. RSA’s proactive approach helps ensure online app stores are constantly monitored and action is taken against rogue mobile app threats.
The RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service proactively manages risk to business by providing visibility into mobile app-based threats. It reduces fraud loss by shutting down rogue apps to help minimise impact of mobile app-based attacks to customer base and provides comprehensive app store monitoring for all major app stores.
“We’re finding that organisations offering legitimate mobile apps used for online banking, retail, gaming and other functions aren’t prepared and are mostly unaware of the mobile app threats lurking in app stores. Driven by RSA’s experienced team of anti-fraud analysts, the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is designed to help these organisations reduce fraud losses by monitoring for, rooting out and shutting down rogue apps before they can successfully exploit unknowing mobile consumers in an attempt to distribute malware and steal sensitive personal information for financial gain,” said Dan Schiappa, RSA Senior Vice President, Identity & Data Protection.
