For example, the theft of app intellectual property, creation of illegal copies of apps, and manipulation of apps at runtime are all harder for Google and Apple to prevent. Ted Miracco, CEO of Approov, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “This partnership with PreEmptive represents an exciting opportunity for app developers to embrace the evolving digital marketplace. Together, we are paving the way for enhanced security solutions that thrive beyond the traditional confines of Google and Apple’s ecosystems, aligning with the EU’s vision for a more open and competitive app landscape as outlined in the Digital Markets Act.”
