Understanding Appdome Manage

What is Appdome Manage?

Appdome Manage allows you to remotely update selected Appdome protection settings in live, already-deployed mobile applications without rebuilding or republishing the app.

Traditionally, changing protection policies or configuration values required creating a new app build and distributing it through the app stores. With Manage, eligible settings can be updated remotely, allowing organizations to respond more quickly to changing security requirements, operational needs, and emerging threats while reducing release overhead.

Why Use Appdome Manage?

Use Manage when you need to update supported Appdome configurations after your application has already been deployed.

Common scenarios include:

• Rotating certificates or cryptographic material.
• Updating trusted domains or endpoints.
• Adjusting backend signaling configurations.
• Changing enforcement behavior for supported protections.
• Responding to newly discovered threats without waiting for the next application release.

Live Update Capabilities

Policy Configurations

Policy Configurations include items such as certificates, cryptographic keys, secrets, hosts, APIs, and other supported configuration values used by Appdome protections.

When these values change, supported configurations can be updated through Manage without rebuilding or redistributing the application.

Trust Lists

Trust Lists define approved entities that Appdome protections use during runtime, such as trusted domains, endpoints, applications, and other supported resources.

As your environment changes, supported Trust List entries can be updated remotely through Manage, eliminating the need to publish a new version of the application.

Backend Signaling

Some Appdome protections exchange security information with backend services through identifiers, headers, payloads, and other signaling mechanisms.

Manage allows supported backend signaling configurations to be updated remotely, helping keep backend integrations aligned with changing business and security requirements.

In-App Data & Enforcement

Many Appdome protections include configurable enforcement actions, user messages, detection behavior, and other runtime policies.

Manage allows eligible protection settings to be updated remotely, enabling organizations to adjust their protection posture without rebuilding or republishing the application.

Live Update Workflow

To maintain governance and security, every Live Update follows a controlled approval workflow.

Each update request includes a reason for the change, is reviewed by an authorized approver, and is deployed only after approval. All requests, approvals, rejections, withdrawals, expirations, and published updates are recorded in Appdome Vault™ to provide a complete audit trail for compliance and operational visibility.
