“The mobile security landscape is continuously evolving. We are working hard to stay on top of the latest evolutions and offer our customers the best possible protection for their mobile applications,” says Heidi Rakels, CEO of Guardsquare.
iXGuard 3.0 (iOS)

On top of that, iXGuard 3.0 includes important improvements to existing code hardening features, such as control flow obfuscation and string encryption.
DexGuard 8.2 (Android)
The latest version of DexGuard offers extended tamper detection. It can the monitor the integrity of the APK and the integrity of any specified file. DexGuard 8.2 also offers hardened native library loading on top of the native library encryption it already provided. Finally, DexGuard 8.2 now has a plugin mechanism for external JavaScript obfuscators. Besides these new security features, the latest version of DexGuard includes many usability improvements, such as the ability to automatically generate consumer rules for libraries.
