Software Applications

You have invested millions of dollars harnessing intellectual property, developing and testing code, and marketing your application. The investment should be recouped when the software is sold. Yet, your support team is telling you that they are receiving support requests from users that have purchased illegal copies of your software. And your sales team is telling you that they are losing market share due to pirated copies of your product being sold illegally over the internet. Software pirates are running a thriving business based on your Intellectual Property.

This need not be the case. Arxan provides comprehensive protection that thwarts hacker techniques such as locating vulnerable regions of code statically or analyzing vulnerable regions at run-time. Arxan ensures that your software is persistently secured against piracy and reverse engineering.

How do I thwart all types of threats and attacks?

Software is vulnerable to all types of piracy, tampering, and reverse engineering. Your security solution should be able to provide you with peace of mind that your software is safe from the diverse and increasingly sophisticated techniques hackers use to compromise software.

Arxan provides the most comprehensive protection available. In addition to traditional static defenses such as obfuscation and encryption, Arxan provides dynamic protection via patented Guard ™ technology. Arxan protects by automatically inserting Guards into the binary to create a customized security solution tailored to defend, detect and react against all types of attacks.

How do I implement a comprehensive security solution without affecting my development process and schedule?

Securing code manually is costly and time-consuming process requiring highly skilled security experts. Additionally, techniques based on source code impact performance and cannot be used to generate durable protection. You need dynamic binary level protection that does not require large resources of time or engineers to implement and update.

Arxan’s key to development friendly protection is the separation of security and development. Arxan fully automates the protection process with your nightly build after you compile your code; no modification of the source code is necessary. Your security team can be completely separate from the development team. This minimizes your security’s opportunity cost, and maximizes productivity of your security, development and quality assurance teams.

Do I need to compromise application performance for software security?

Some protection solutions impose large (up to 20%) performance penalties. These solutions force the developer to choose between performance impact and percentage of application that is secured. This is an unacceptable trade-off.

Arxan protects at the binary, not the source code, level, ensuring that your application’s performance is not comprised. Furthermore, Arxan does not compete with your compiler or optimizer. Test results have shown that the impact of Arxan on run-time performance of protected programs is very low. Arxan provides total security coverage with total application performance.
