Story Highlights
Verimatrix announced that Jarir, Saudi Arabia’s largest e-commerce and online shopping service, selected Verimatrix’s App Shield Pro with monitoring, part of the Extended Threat Defence (XTD) family of products, to safeguard valuable IP within its services for Android users.
With millions using its popular shopping app, Jarir sought a speedy yet proven solution to gain the latest protections against threats such as reverse engineering and repackaging. The company also prioritised the need to monitor and detect threats among its install base, allowing it to identify threat patterns and prevent potential attacks.
Through its zero-code approach to app security and monitoring, Verimatrix App Shield Pro and XTD technologies arm Jarir with an unobtrusive yet modern approach to app security as well as valuable intelligence that can help avoid costly security-related incidents.
“When a business is rooted in the use of an app, it’s vital to maximise its cybersecurity while still maintaining a superb user experience,” said Juha Högmander, vice president, cybersecurity business at Verimatrix. “We are pleased to work with market-leading companies such as Jarir to provide unmatched threat defences.”
“Following a robust evaluation, we selected Verimatrix due to its comprehensive approach to IP protection and its unique threat monitoring capabilities,” said Nasser Abdul-Aziz, Chief Operations Officer at Jarir Bookstore. “It’s important to us to work with cybersecurity experts such as Verimatrix who offer our needed mix of proactive protections, ease of use, and first-class service.”
