App Store & API Security

Your app backends, API keys and user data are a target. Find the weaknesses first.

Mobile App Developers depend on mobile backends, Firebase/cloud APIs and CI pipelines. HackGuardX continuously scans your website, email domain, cloud and code for security vulnerabilities, so you can fix weaknesses before they become costly breaches. Enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise price tag.

Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's mobile app developers could expose app backends, API keys and user data, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why mobile app developers are targeted: Mobile apps ship API keys in their code, and misconfigured Firebase databases are one of the most common data leaks.
