Review the Geo Compliance protections below and contact us to put them to work in your app.
Appdome's Detect Fake Location protects mobile apps from instrumentation, libraries and frameworks that are used in GPS and location spoofing attacks. Appdome monitors on-device GPS attributes and detect hooks, patching, swizzling and injections that attempt to modify or access GPS data, manipulate GPS coordinates, time zone settings, and accelerometer readings, which attackers use to deceive location-based services and undermine the integrity of location-dependent apps and services.

Appdome's Detect Fake GPS Apps defense is used to detect interactions between Android & iOS apps and fake GPS apps, mock location providers, location spoofing apps, virtual location tools, and GPS spoofing apps like Fake GPS Location, GPS JoyStick, and iSpoofer. These apps typically include permissions and methods that enable attackers to set a custom location, simulate movement, and automate location changes, thereby simulating and replacing real GPS data and overriding the device's actual location.

Appdome's mobile geo compliance offering has the most comprehensive suite of features to detect location fraud in mobile apps. For example, Appdome can identify an unrealistic change in the device location, when one or more location attributes are out of sync with others on the Android or iOS device, or when device location changes occur while the accelerometer is inactive or the phone is face down. This preserves the integrity of location data in apps that depend on accurate location to deliver essential services such as navigation, personalized recommendations, and proximity-based functionality.

Appdome prevents Geo Piracy by building its Detect VPN feature into the runtime of mobile applications. When a VPN is enabled on a mobile device, all mobile app traffic is routed through the VPN. The attacker can set the VPN to report any location the attacker desires. VPNs allow attackers to bypass geo-fencing restrictions applicable to content services, offers and other services in the mobile app. Detecting and responding to VPN use in mobile apps ensures compliance with data and service policies. If a VPN event occurs, gather data and determine the best response for your brand with ease.

Appdome's geo-fencing feature equips Android and iOS apps with the power to enforce location-based access control without a call out to an external service. Geo-fencing is essential in regulated industries like finance and content streaming. By restricting or allowing access based on regions, apps adhere to regulations like US FFIEC, EU GDPR, Singapore's MAS, and KYC regulations, reducing legal risks and enhancing compliance. Geo-fencing prevents unauthorized access via an "opt out" or "opt in" configuration model to limit the application's use inside or outside of the configured locations.

Appdome's Proxy Detection operates inside the Android or iOS app to detect the use of geolocation proxies in critical API connection requests. Geolocation proxies are services or tools that route a device’s internet traffic through servers located in specific geographic regions, making it appear as though the device or user is connecting from a different location. Geolocation proxies are often used alongside GPS spoofing for coordinated fraud. If a geolocation proxy event occurs in the application runtime, gather threat data and determine the best response for your brand with ease.

Appdome has several in-app anti-fraud features that can detect synthetic location signals coming from developer-class tools like Android Debug Bridge to specialized tools like App Players, including Blue Stacks, Memo and Nox - all of which can be used to simulate or create synthetic location in Android or iOS apps. These defenses support true and authentic location information in mobile applications and eliminate one of the most widely used methods to test location defenses in DevSecOps processes.

Emulators and virtual devices are commonly abused to commit geo fraud or location fraud by simulating environments, spoofing locations, and bypassing geographic controls in mobile apps or services. Appdome has several in-app anti-fraud features that will signal if apps are run in emulators, virtualized environments, dual space, second space, on virtual devices, on virtualized OSs, including via Android Virtual Machine. These defenses stop Mock GPS, Rapid Geo Switchin and fake devices and location use din fraud.

Appdome's Threat-Score™ empowers mobile brands with attack-specific fraud risk profiles in their mobile app. Threat-Scores are generated and passed to the mobile application when attacks occur, without any server call out. They can be linked to specific Android & iOS events, and customer userID, sessionID and DeviceID. Threat-Score's fraud risk profiling is used to identify at-risk transactions, reduce or eliminate chargebacks, and customer support expenses. Threat-Scores are also used to design attack-specific fraud responses in the mobile app itself and to reduce mobile fraud exposure.
