Approov, a leading provider of mobile app and API security solutions, has announced a major global infrastructure expansion, strengthening its defense against a new generation of AI-driven cyber threats. The company’s cloud-based mobile app and device attestation platform is being positioned as the next frontier in securing mobile ecosystems—moving critical security logic away from devices and into the cloud.

The expansion includes the integration of Cloudflare’s Argo Smart Routing™ technology and new multi-cloud deployments across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Together, these upgrades ensure rapid, resilient, and intelligent network performance—essential for countering increasingly sophisticated, AI-powered API attacks.

“Conventional security relies on secrets hidden inside the mobile device, but the advent of AI-based attack tools has made those secrets trivially easy to extract,” said Ted Miracco, CEO of Approov. “Our model fundamentally changes the game. By putting security logic and secrets in the cloud and performing rigorous attestation there, we make it virtually impossible for malicious actors to spoof a genuine mobile client.”

From On-Device Defense to Cloud-Based Attestation

Traditional mobile security methods such as Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) and code obfuscation are increasingly ineffective against AI-assisted reverse engineering and dynamic code analysis. Approov’s security-by-design approach eliminates these vulnerabilities by relocating all sensitive credentials—like API keys—into a secure cloud enclave.

This architecture allows Approov to perform real-time app and device attestation in the cloud, verifying that every API request originates from a genuine, untampered mobile app running on a secure device. The result is a 95% reduction in API attacks from bots, scripts, and cloned applications.

Approov’s attestation process also enables Over-the-Air (OTA) security updates, allowing organizations to respond instantly to emerging AI-based threats—an increasingly critical advantage in today’s dynamic cybersecurity landscape.

Enhancing Speed, Security, and Scalability

As Approov handles tens of millions of attestations daily, performance remains a central priority. The company’s recent upgrades address the need for ultra-low latency and global reliability, ensuring secure verification processes occur seamlessly—often in just milliseconds.

Key Enhancements Include:

• Cloudflare Argo Smart Routing Integration:
  By integrating Cloudflare’s Argo Smart Routing™, Approov optimizes the delivery of attestation tokens by dynamically selecting the fastest, most reliable network paths. This reduces Internet latency by over 30% and minimizes connection errors by 27%, ensuring superior performance for users worldwide.
  The integration also provides enterprise-grade DDoS protection at both Layer 4 and Layer 7.

• Expanded Global Attestation Fabric:
  Approov has added new points of presence (PoPs) in U.S. East, Hong Kong, and Taipei, joining existing nodes in Dublin, San Jose, São Paulo, and Singapore.
  Its multi-cloud architecture on AWS and GCP features automatic cross-cloud failover, designed for maximum resilience under the most extreme attack scenarios.

“Approov is engineered to scale to billions of attestations globally,” Miracco added. “Our approach not only delivers unmatched speed but also a richer set of environmental checks compared to native platform attestations.”

Building a Trusted Foundation for Mobile-First Enterprises

As enterprises across finance, healthcare, retail, and connected cars increasingly rely on mobile APIs, the risk of AI-assisted exploitation grows. Approov’s expansion underscores a shift toward cloud-centric security—a model that prioritizes real-time intelligence, dynamic adaptability, and verifiable trust at every point of interaction.

By combining high-performance network optimization with cryptographic attestation and AI-resilient architecture, Approov’s platform is redefining what it means to secure mobile applications in the age of generative AI and machine-driven hacking.
