The Guardian protects apps being attacked by malware and spyware on infected devices.   

Mobile Applications Protection

The Guardian - Softlock Offers The Guardian for protecting mobile apps that run within untrusted environments.

Protecting mobile apps that run within untrusted environments is ever more crucial as mobile become ubiquitous. Hackers and their targeted malware are an increasing threat to the mobile revolution. With the explosive growth of the mobile channel and user demand for anytime/anywhere access to mobile services, app providers are challenged to keep up with security, which increases exposure to malicious attacks.

 

Why Protecting Mobile App with the Guardian is the most secure?
