Mobile application hardening platform

Defend applications against known and unknown threats

IronWALL manages, prevents and protects against risk by applying multi-layer security that obfuscates, encrypts and guards your app from tampering, malware, reverse engineering and more, reducing the attack surface with no source code changes.

What it does

Security that ships inside every release

Once an app is released, it becomes susceptible to attackers exploiting coding errors and other vulnerabilities on devices you do not control. IronWALL makes the released binary resistant to reverse engineering, tampering and repackaging, and keeps protecting it while it runs.

Protection is applied to the compiled APK, AAB or IPA as a step in your build pipeline, so there is no SDK to integrate and nothing for developers to rewrite or maintain.

  • Application shielding
  • Defence against intrusion
  • Hassle-free, codeless integration
  • Compatible across multiple applications
Codeless hardening

Codeless hardening in three easy steps

No coding knowledge required. Upload a build, select a policy, download the protected app.

01Upload the compiled mobile app

Your release build goes into IronWALL, SaaS or on-premise. Nothing enters your repository.

02Select security policies

Choose the protection layers and set the response per threat. Presets exist for banking and regulated apps.

03Download the secured mobile app

Sign and ship as usual. Protection travels inside the binary onto every device.

Multi-dimensional protection

A defence-in-depth strategy, built in layers

IronWALL bolsters your mobile app security with a three-layer encryption approach, multi-layer code obfuscation and integrity enforcement. By combining runtime application self-protection (RASP) with static resilience, the platform withstands both static analysis and dynamic attacks.

It safeguards against app tampering, reverse engineering, debugging, jailbreaks and root, app cloning, malware and repackaging, and reduces attack surface exposure across Android APK and AAB and iOS IPA builds.

Capabilities

Fortifying your digital defences

Adopt security best practice and bridge the divide between you and your customers with trust and confidence.

Code obfuscation and encryption

Control-flow, string, resource and symbol obfuscation with three-layer encryption, so a decompiled build returns nothing readable.

Anti-tampering and anti-repackaging

Integrity and signature verification at launch, so a modified or re-signed build is detected before the login screen renders.

Runtime self-protection (RASP)

Root, jailbreak, emulator, hooking, injection and debugger detection on the device, in the moment, with no server round trip.

Secured across end devices

Makes it highly complex to break into the Android and iOS application environment, keeping business resources and sensitive information safe.

Self-protecting capabilities

Malicious activity is detected and blocked from access, and if the protection layer is stripped out, the app alerts or exits rather than running unprotected.

Deploy secure apps faster

An enterprise-grade no-code platform that fits CI/CD, so you scale protection and optimise time to market without slowing the sprint.

What sets IronWALL apart

Why teams choose IronWALL over an SDK or an obfuscator alone

Most hardening products describe themselves in the same language. What separates IronWALL is what holds up on a real device. Each row is a capability, what IronWALL does, and the test you can run yourself in a proof of concept.

Capability What IronWALL doesMulti-layer hardening, codeless Verify it yourselfWhat to test in the proof of concept
Integration modelAsk: how much source code do we change? Codeless. Applied to the compiled binary in your pipeline, with no SDK to integrate and nothing for developers to maintain. POC in days Send us a release build. We return the hardened binary without touching your source.
Obfuscation depthAsk: decompile the protected build in front of us Control-flow, string, resource and symbol obfuscation plus three-layer encryption. Decompiled output is unreadable Decompile the hardened build with JADX or Hopper and compare with the original.
Anti-tampering and repackagingAsk: re-sign the app and run it Integrity and signature checks at launch; a repackaged build is detected before the login screen renders Modify one resource, re-sign with a different certificate and launch on a real device.
Self-protectionAsk: what happens if an attacker strips your protection out? Anti-SDK-removal enforcement: the app alerts, or exits. It refuses to run unprotected Strip the IronWALL layer out of the binary and try to run the app.
Runtime protection (RASP)Ask: signature-based, behaviour-based, or both? Behaviour-based detection of root, jailbreak, emulators, hooking, injection and debuggers. Catches techniques it has never seen. Works offline Launch on a rooted phone with Frida attached, then again with the network off.
Performance overheadAsk: state the measured cost on the record Optimised for minimal overhead. We state the figure from your own POC, on the record, alongside app size and start-up time Measure app size, start-up time and memory before and after hardening, on your own device.

Every row above can be demonstrated on your own app during a proof of concept. Bring your shortlist and hold every vendor, including us, to the same tests.

IronWALL: asked and answered

Common questions about mobile app hardening

Does IronWALL require an SDK or changes to our source code?

No. IronWALL is applied to the compiled APK, AAB or IPA as a step in your build pipeline. Nothing is added to your repository and your developers do not maintain an SDK across releases.

What is the difference between app hardening, app shielding and code obfuscation?

Code obfuscation is one technique: making decompiled code unreadable. App hardening and app shielding are the broader category: obfuscation plus encryption, anti-tampering, runtime self-protection and self-protection of the security layer itself. IronWALL delivers the full stack, not obfuscation alone.

Can the protection be removed by an attacker?

IronWALL enforces its own presence. If the protection is stripped out of the binary, the app alerts or exits rather than running unprotected. We will demonstrate it on a live device during your demo.

What is the performance overhead?

IronWALL is optimised for minimal overhead. Rather than quote a generic figure, we measure it on your own app during the proof of concept and state the result on the record, alongside app size and start-up time.

Does it work on both Android and iOS, and on cross-platform frameworks?

Yes. IronWALL hardens Android, iOS and HarmonyOS apps, covering native, cross-platform, hybrid and Flutter builds, plus SDK protection. Coverage for your specific framework is confirmed in the proof of concept.

How long does deployment take?

Days, not weeks. Because there is no code integration, protection is applied to your existing build, so a proof of concept runs on your real app within days of starting rather than after a services engagement.

How does IronWALL help with BNM RMiT and regional banking requirements?

It delivers the mobile channel controls examiners ask about: device binding, anti-screen-capture, rooting and jailbreak detection, and data encryption at rest and in transit, mapped to the considerations referenced in BNM RMiT, MAS TRM, OJK, BSP, Taiwan FSC and HKMA CFI guidance.
