New Solution Offers Industry’s First App Protection Capability for the Rapidly Growing Development Language

Arxan Technologies, the trusted provider of application protection solutions, announced today the release of Arxan for Android. This new solution features the industry’s first protection technology for apps developed using Kotlin, the rapidly growing development language supported by Google for Android app development. Arxan’s protection for Android apps written in Kotlin or Java shields against reverse engineering and tampering to protect businesses from brand damage, financial loss, intellectual property theft and government penalties.

“Arxan for Android is unique in that it is the first application protection solution to offer full support for Kotlin while directly manipulating the DEX files to provide the greatest security and control,” said Rusty Carter, vice president of product management, Arxan. “This capability minimizes impact on development resources from the first build on through every follow-on release. As the application threat landscape continues to intensify, we are continuing to expand our capabilities to help protect customer applications developed for Android, including those developed using Kotlin.”

Arxan for Android lets developers focus on the job at hand, developing great apps without worrying about securing code from attackers during the development process. Arxan’s app protection provides a comprehensive set of guards, enabling a high-level of security for applications through active protections, static analysis defense and advanced obfuscations. The solution also features:

APK-based, post-build protection that does not require source code changes and minimizes impact on the software development lifecycle
Java and Kotlin support to protect the widest range of Android apps
Easy-to-use, JSON-based configuration for quick implementation and faster time to market
Enterprise-level platform support and training to maximize the value of Arxan for Android
