Verimatrix announced that HBL Microfinance Bank Ltd. (HBL MfB) is among the latest financial institutions in the South Asia region to deploy the VerimatrixExtended Threat Defense (XTD) app shielding service to protect FirstPay, the bank?s mobile wallet app. Earlier this month, HBL MfB added Verimatrix XTD protections to its FirstPay mobile app that has seen 1 million+ downloads to date between the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Verimatrix XTD greatly reduces the chances of cybercriminals using the app to infiltrate connected enterprises while deploying the latest obfuscation, anti-tamper and anti-reverse engineering techniques to prevent threats before they can compromise both the mobile app -- and the enterprise.
