DexProtector Achieves EMVCo Approval for 5th Consecutive Year
LONDON, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Licel has announced that its pioneering mobile application protection product, DexProtector, has been evaluated and approved by EMVCo under the SBMP SPT category for the fifth year in a row.
The first mobile software protection solution to achieve this EMVCo approval, DexProtector has been leading the way and helping to define what mobile app protection should look like for more than a decade now. Being evaluated and approved by EMVCo* for the fifth consecutive year is a testament to the product's consistency and reliability in preventing a wide range of threats, like tampering and reverse engineering.
This latest certificate also reflects the determination of the Licel team to provide proven solutions to cybersecurity challenges facing app developers, as Licel CEO Ivan Kinash explains:
"Threats targeting the mobile channel are constantly evolving. For Licel, addressing these threats has been a 14-year journey of relentless innovation and technical advancements, driven by the invaluable input of our loyal customers; many of whom we've partnered with for over a decade. Among the sophisticated protection mechanisms DexProtector is equipped with are Obfuscation, Root Detection, Anti-Instrumentation, Anti-Emulation, Anti-Tampering/Debugging, Integrity Control, Anti-Malware, and Network Communications Protection. Combined, all of DexProtector's security mechanisms are saving our clients time and money that would otherwise be lost to fraud. Licel remains committed to providing cutting-edge mobile channel protection, always striving for the optimal balance between robust security and an outstanding user experience"
As the global technical body responsible for the secure integration of card-based payment products worldwide, EMVCo's approval really matters. It provides peace of mind for Licel's customers that the solution they're using has passed some of the most stringent requirements out there. It also helps to speed up their own compliance and certification journey.
As was the case when Licel recently became the first company to achieve dual-platform Android and iOS approval for their vTEE solution under EMVCo's SBMP TEE category, it was the Barcelona-based lab, Applus+ Laboratories, who were responsible for the evaluation.
"It's a tremendous achievement for Licel to have gained SBMP SPT approval for five years in a row," says Jose Ruiz, Cybersecurity BU Director of Applus+ Laboratories. "I admire their commitment to continual improvement and external verification, and I'm proud of the role that the team here at Applus+ Laboratories has played in their journey so far."
