Stop the mobile malware your fraud stack cannot see

Banking trojans now commit fraud from inside your customer’s own authenticated session, so every signal your server reads looks genuine. This guide shows what that malware does, where your existing controls go blind, and how to defend on devices you do not own.

  • The eight capabilities modern banking trojans combine, and why your app never notices them
  • Why on-device fraud passes device fingerprinting, IP reputation and behavioural models
  • A severity-based response policy that your support team will not switch off
  • An eleven-question checklist to evaluate any vendor, including us

What you will be able to do after reading

Written for teams who have to make a decision, not a purchase. Every claim is sourced, and the evaluation checklist works against any vendor, including us.

Explain why an infected phone is your problem

When malware moves money through your app, the loss, the regulatory exposure and the headline belong to you. The customer will not call it a malware infection. They will call your app unsafe.

Recognise the eight capabilities modern trojans combine

Overlays, accessibility abuse, screen streaming, keylogging, SMS interception, on-device fraud, virtualisation and anti-removal logic, with what each one does and why your app never sees it.

See why on-device fraud defeats your fraud stack

The transaction starts inside the victim’s own authenticated session. Device fingerprinting, IP reputation and behavioural models all pass, because every signal they read is genuine.

Map what each of your seven controls misses

API gateways, fraud engines, MFA, store review, MDM, consumer antivirus and penetration testing. None should be removed. None observes the device at the moment fraud happens.

Write a response policy that survives contact with support

Blanket policies get switched off within two quarters. A severity table maps six detections to proportionate responses, so protection stays on.

Evaluate any vendor in eleven questions

Questions to put to any vendor, each answerable in a live session rather than a datasheet, plus the five metrics that keep a programme funded.

Rather talk it through?

If you would rather discuss your own apps than read about ours, we will map your requirements against the checklist in this guide and show you where SecIron fits, and where it does not.
