Digital.ai launches Quick Protect Agent for rapid app defence

Digital.ai has launched Quick Protect Agent, a new mobile app security product designed to help organisations protect their mobile applications quickly and without the need for extensive coding or technical expertise.

The solution delivers protection measures recommended by the Open Web Application Security Project Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (OWASP MASVS). These include obfuscation, anti-tampering, and anti-analysis technology alongside a graphical user interface intended to enable any team member to implement security features with minimal training.

Quick Protect Agent is positioned as a tool for developers and software architects requiring enterprise-grade app hardening at scale. According to Digital.ai, any Android or iOS application can be shielded within minutes without the input of development resources. The solution also extends Digital.ai's existing Application Protection suite, which already supports features such as real-time self-protection, code obfuscation, whitebox cryptography, and coverage for desktop, mobile, and web platforms.

Impact of AI on security

The launch comes as organisations face increased risk from threat actors making use of widely available artificial intelligence tools. According to Digital.ai, the ease and accessibility of these tools have heightened the risk from reverse engineering, analysis, and exploitation of software applications.

Every new app release is described as a further expansion of an organisation's potential attack surface. The company cites its own 2025 App Sec Threat Report, which indicates that 83% of monitored applications were found to have had their security probed over the last year, marking a 20% increase from the previous year. The report also highlights increased digital transaction volume and a rise in ransomware payouts as contributing to the urgency around application security.

Deployment case study

Digital.ai reports recent use of Quick Protect Agent by a multinational telecommunications provider. The company needed to secure a newly developed app within two days, with specific requirements for reverse engineering protection. According to the firm, Quick Protect Agent enabled the telecom team to achieve their security objectives by simply using the graphical interface to apply obfuscation and anti-tamper protections rapidly.

Perspective from Digital.ai leadership

"For years, Digital.ai has been trusted for having the deepest set of enterprise-grade app protections in the market," said Derek Holt, CEO, Digital.ai. "With Quick Protect Agent, we are expanding application protection to a broader audience, enabling organizations both large and small to add powerful protections in just a few clicks. In today's AI world, all apps are at risk, and by democratizing our app hardening capabilities, we are enabling the protection of more applications across a broader set of industries. With eighty-three percent of applications under constant attack – the continued innovation within our core offerings, including the launch of our new Quick Protect Agent, could not be coming at a more crucial time."

The Quick Protect Agent is intended to make enterprise-grade app security practical for teams that lack specialised security knowledge or resources, potentially benefitting organisations of varying sizes and across different industry sectors.

Additional services

Digital.ai also offers an Application Assessment tool to help organisations quickly evaluate application security, surface hidden vulnerabilities, and receive actionable recommendations for hardening their software.

The aim is to enable faster and broader deployment of robust security measures at a time when both app delivery velocity and incident rates are increasing.
