Lockin Company to Provide Mobile Security Services to WeWork

2019.10.04.

Mobile security company Lockin Company (CEO Myoung Kyu Choi) announced on the 2nd that it has partnered with WeWork, the world's largest shared office company, to create a safe mobile app service environment.

WeWork member companies that have currently launched an app or have a completed app are eligible. Applicants can apply for a 2-month free trial of 'LIAPP Business', a mobile app security solution worth 500,000 won equipped with powerful security features such as source code protection, rooting detection, virtual machine detection, and memory protection, through the WeWork service store.

LIAPP, an app security solution launched by Lockin Company, provides an app security service optimized for the mobile environment in the form of software as a service (SaaS). It encrypts the entire source code of the app to prevent source leaks and block attempts such as hacking, decompilation, and debugging. When the completed app is uploaded to the LIAPP cloud server, security can be applied in less than 5 seconds.

A Lockin Company official said, “When looking at customer inquiries related to app security, there are many cases where they do not know that the app has been hacked and only realize that the hacking incident has occurred after significant damage has occurred.” He added, “As smartphone technology improves and the number of mobile app users continues to increase, hacking cases such as theft of personal information and payment-related information are also serious. The goal of this partnership is to strengthen the system to prevent this in advance and create a safe mobile ecosystem.”
