Our patented mobile runtime integrity and API protection technology ensures that only genuine, untampered mobile apps can access your backend services—unified seamlessly across iOS and Android.
As mobile apps have become the front door to digital business, they are increasingly targeted by automated attacks, reverse engineering, and API abuse. Approov brings a cloud-native Zero Trust approach to mobile app security, continuously verifying the integrity of each app instance and device before granting API access.
We secure the entire mobile-to-cloud channel—protecting your APIs from scripts, bots, repackaged apps, and emulators in real time. Our platform provides:
Dynamic, runtime attestation with zero false positives
Just-in-time delivery of API secrets, certificates, and tokens
Built-in Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) for enhanced on-device defense
End-to-end telemetry and visibility from app to API
By embedding lightweight SDKs in your apps and using a cloud-native attestation service, Approov gives security, DevOps, and compliance teams centralized control over a distributed mobile threat surface—without slowing innovation.
Founded as CriticalBlue in Edinburgh, Scotland, with U.S. operations in Palo Alto, California, Approov launched its mobile API protection platform in 2017 after years of R&D in binary analysis, runtime integrity, and secure system performance. Our roots in deep systems engineering have evolved into a platform that powers security for millions of users globally.
Approov is redefining mobile app security for the cloud-native era.
