Appdome understands that KYC Checks in mobile apps can add friction to user acquisition and onboarding. That's why we focus on providing device and threat data behind the scenes. While the app is running, Appdome's detections work in the background to identify risks, threats, and fake devices used to commit KYC Fraud at runtime.

Appdome's AI-based delivery and modular architecture allow mobile brands to deploy any number of mobile security, identity, and anti-fraud plugins in mobile apps fast. These plugins create a dynamic defense model that analyzes behavioral anomalies, identifies threats, and filters out false positives to protect the foundation of KYC workflows in your Android & iOS apps. Eliminate big Epics and manual work, fighting the battle against mobile KYC fraud today.
Appdome stops account farming and account bots by detecting automated and non-human interactions in an app, including fake clicks, taps, and keystrokes, fake biometric inputs, memory injection, and code injection attacks. Eliminate new account fraud in KYC onboarding and reduce KYC risk in mobile applications. Detect all major injection attacks and the tools used in these attacks, such as Magisk, Magisk Hide, Magisk Manager, Frida, hooking frameworks, and more. Once an attack is detected, it becomes part of the risk profile of that mobile device to block repeat offenders and attack attempts.

Appdome detects when mobile applications are run in emulated, virtualized, dual-space, Android Player, VMOS, and other automated or simulated environments. These platforms are used in account farming, account creation fraud, and biometric bypasses. They can also be used to create rebate and referral program abuse, point inflation, and fraudulent in-app transactions. Once Appdome detects the emulated or virtualized environment, each detection becomes part of that environment, application, and instance risk profile to block attempts to reuse that application or instance in an automated environment.

Fraudsters rely on fake devices and tools that spoof device properties to bypass KYC controls and create or operate fraudulent accounts at scale. By manipulating or controlling device properties, fraudsters can mimic legitimate mobile devices, users, and activities, undermine biometrics, identity verification, onboarding checks, and other fraud detection systems. To combat this, Appdome embeds mobile device and application identity and 400+ threat signals into mobile apps to continuously verify the authenticity of the device and any activities on it before, during, and after KYC workflows are completed.

Mobile end users with compromised or “at-risk” devices can unknowingly become a gateway for KYC fraud. Devices infected with malware, spyware, banking trojans, or remote-access tools, or users manipulated through social engineering scams, allow attackers to observe, intercept, or influence activity during identity verification, onboarding checks, and other fraud detection workflows. To address this risk, Appdome uses device identity and 400+ anti-malware and runtime threat detections to continuously identify compromised or "at-risk" devices before, during, and after KYC workflows to eliminate KYC Fraud before it starts.

Attackers often abuse backend APIs used for onboarding and account creation via weaponized mobile apps, modified versions of legitimate apps, or automated scripts. This allows the attacker to bypass KYC workflows and manipulate registration, identity verification, and account setup APIs at scale, automating the creation of fraudulent accounts, onboarding data, and testing stolen or synthetic identities. To address this risk, Appdome provides comprehensive API protection that allows only authentic, untampered apps and trusted devices to access sensitive APIs, enabling brands to detect automated abuse before critical APIs are accessed.

Geolocation fraud occurs when fraudsters manipulate or spoof their geographic location to deceive mobile businesses during the KYC process. To do so, fraudsters can use virtual private networks (VPNs), proxy servers, Fake GPS, location spoofing and other techniques. Faking geolocation allows fraudsters impersonate the identity of legitimate mobile customers, bypass KYC controls, and open accounts as though they are a genuine account holder, making it more difficult for businesses to detect fraudulent activity in Android & iOS apps. Appdome offers a comprehensive geo-location compliance suite to detect & defend mobile apps from geo fraud.

Appdome's Prevent Keystroke Injection feature detects and defends mobile applications from keystroke injection attacks. Keystroke injection is used to enter or flood data, taps and other actions in mobile apps to masquerade as real users filling out forms, submitting requests, or performing transactions. Keystroke injection can also be used to deceive users by triggering workflows from the background that force users to enter sensitive information, such as password reset or fake login screens, or pop-up dialogs and notifications requesting malicious permissions.

Appdome's Prevent Auto-Clicking feature detects & defends mobile apps against tap injection. Tap injection attacks are used in click fraud to impersonate user clicks on ads or sponsored content in mobile apps to generate fraudulent impressions or clicks. Tap injection attacks are also used in loyalty program and referral program abuse, or to cheat in mobile games, by impersonating real users tapping on buttons, collecting rewards or performing game actions. Appdome makes these attacks are a thing of the past.

Appdome's Block Android Debug Bridge (ADB) feature detects and defends mobile apps from all forms of attacks using ADB 'input tap', 'keyevent', 'input swipe' and other commands. With these commands, ADB can be used to simulate or create fake events in mobile apps by sending input events directly to the device, or executing shell commands on connected Android devices or emulators. Detect ADB commands that simulate touch events, key presses, gestures, and other input actions. Gather data and control what, when and how to enforce these defenses.

Appdome's Prevent Android Virtualization detects and defends mobile apps when Android Virtual Machine (AVM) is used to execute synthetic fraud attacks. AVM allows attackers to simulate taps, swipes, and gestures on a virtual screen and trigger actions or interactions within the mobile app. AVM can also be used to emulate device sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, and orientation sensors, allowing attackers to spoof sensor data and events. With Appdome's Prevent Android Virtualization feature, mobile brands can gather data and control what, when and how to enforce these defenses.
