Mobile Bot Threats Have Evolved—So Has Appdome
Traditional mobile bot defenses often focus solely on brute-force and credential stuffing attacks. But modern threats are far more complex, powered by AI and capable of mimicking real users through deepfakes, voice cloning, and mobile Trojans. Appdome’s AI-Native MobileBOT Defense tackles these evolving risks by performing deep, real-time evaluations of every session—across account creation, login, password reset, payment, and other sensitive app flows.
“Mobile brands can no longer rely on superficial threat detection,” said Tom Tovar, CEO of Appdome. “Today’s attacks exploit app behavior, user interaction, and device integrity. Appdome delivers the depth needed to defend every mobile connection.”
Tailored Mobile Bot Defense Per API
One of the standout capabilities of Appdome’s MobileBOT Defense is the ability to create tailored threat profiles per API—ensuring the right security is applied at the right place.
- Onboarding & Signup APIs: Detect fake users, bot-driven gestures, location spoofing, and synthetic identities.
- Login & Password Reset APIs: Stop spyware, deepfake impersonation, ATS malware, and social engineering.
- Payment APIs: Prevent trojan malware, session hijacks, vishing scams, and man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks.
Each tailored profile can evaluate up to 400+ mobile-specific attack vectors, delivering surgical protection where it matters most.
Key Features of Appdome MobileBOT™ Defense

“We’re giving security teams the power to detect and respond to mobile bot attacks dynamically and precisely,” said Chris Roeckl, Appdome’s Chief Product Officer. “You shouldn’t have to rebuild your stack to get serious mobile fraud protection.”
AI-Powered Protection That Adapts in Real-Time
In a world where bots can mimic biometrics and hijack mobile sessions, traditional anti-bot tools fall short. Appdome’s layered Mobile Bot Defense model uses AI to inspect every layer of the mobile experience—ensuring that only safe, verified users ever reach your APIs.
It’s not just brute force protection—it’s a future-ready shield against the next generation of AI-powered fraud.
