In the digital age, everything seems to move at warp speed — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Estimates show that cyberattacks will account for $10.5 trillion in business losses worldwide by 2025, making DevSecOps investments crucial to survival. Cyberattacks are numerous, but so are tools for defending against them. Whether in-app protection through control flow obfuscation or installing anti-tamper or anti-debug tools to prevent reverse engineering, strategies for businesses to protect themselves against devastating attacks abound.
Unfortunately, many small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need more robust security for a proactive approach to mobile app security, even though the average cost of ransomware remediation for SMBs is $1.82 million. SMBs face constant difficulties when building defense barriers but do so without realizing there are great, affordable solutions for outsourcing cybersecurity needs. PreEmptive is one example of an organization dedicated to managing and offering solutions to critical tasks such as data obfuscation, app hardening, and data encryption.
Reports show businesses spend around 12% of IT budgets on cybersecurity, but many remain on the fence about investing. It’s no small cost, but digital security is more important than ever, as even minor breaches can yield financially devastating outcomes, resulting in irreversible damage to the business’s reputation. This article explains three core reasons to consider PreEmptive as businesses work to construct a cohesive and layered strategy for securing applications, servers, networks, and endpoints.
1. Protect Your Source Code and Apps
Just as constructing robust physical structures like office buildings, warehouses, and supply chains takes years of effort, building secure digital environments demands no less dedication. Consider the vast amounts of labor poured into creating web pages, mobile applications, and APIs—all crucial for day-to-day operations and customer engagement. However, digital assets often receive far less protection than their physical counterparts. Imagine leaving a physical storefront unlocked overnight; neglecting digital security is equally risky.
Our solutions are designed to safeguard your applications across various coding languages, including C++, JavaScript, Swift, Objective C, Java, and Android. Statistics indicate that 81% of mobile apps are exposed to cyber threats due to inadequate data obfuscation and security measures.
With PreEmptive, your IT team gains access to a comprehensive suite of tools that enhances security and simplifies it. Our tools automate essential processes like source code obfuscation and ongoing maintenance, significantly lowering the risk of data breaches and malware attacks. We also provide proactive defense mechanisms, continuously monitoring and fortifying your source code throughout the app development lifecycle.
Cyber threats do not discriminate by company size — major corporations and small businesses are at risk. High-profile breaches, such as the one that cost T-Mobile over $350 million, highlight the severe consequences of security oversights. These often stem from vulnerabilities like inadequate data storage, susceptibility to reverse engineering, and phishing scams. PreEmptive treats security breaches as inevitable, not just possible, and offers robust services designed to identify and seal security gaps quickly, keeping your digital assets safe.
2. Streamline Workflows with Integrated Security
Developers face the constant challenge of balancing fast-paced project timelines with the need to ensure robust security. PreEmptive provides a solution that integrates seamlessly into developers’ existing workflows, significantly reducing the complexity and time involved in implementing security measures.
Our tools are designed to work within the environments developers are already familiar with, such as Visual Studio and other popular IDEs. This integration allows developers to add advanced security features like obfuscation, encryption, and tamper protection directly within their development process without needing specialized security knowledge or switching between different tools.
Moreover, PreEmptive’s solutions automate many tedious and error-prone aspects of application security. By automating tasks such as code hardening and vulnerability scans, developers can focus more on their core tasks — building functionality and improving user experience — while trusting that their applications are secure by design.
The result is a smoother development process with built-in security, enabling developers to deliver safer applications faster. This enhances productivity and significantly reduces the risk of security flaws that could lead to costly breaches.
3. Avoid Becoming a Data Breach Statistic
Did you know that 60% of small to medium-sized businesses shut down within six months following a cyber attack? This staggering statistic underscores the importance of proactive security measures.
The journey toward robust security starts with thoroughly assessing your environment for vulnerabilities. Selecting the right security solutions to support your needs is essential, but the myriad of options and bold claims in the market often complicates it. Many companies tout their solutions as the best, but only some can truly back up those claims with proven results.
We’ve been a leader in application security for over 20 years, and our solutions are designed to be comprehensive yet non-intrusive. They support a wide range of programming languages, both modern and legacy. This flexibility ensures that our security measures integrate smoothly into any development environment, enhancing security without disrupting your workflow.
We’ve partnered with numerous Fortune 500 companies, including industry giants like Charles Schwab, FedEx, and Microsoft. Our experience isn’t limited to large corporations; we’ve also helped countless small and medium-sized businesses craft and execute effective cybersecurity strategies.
