Protectt.ai, a leading provider of full-stack mobile app security and fraud control solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with i-exceed, a pioneer in low-code digital banking platforms. This collaboration is set to significantly enhance mobile application security within the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector. The primary aim of this alliance is to deliver mobile applications that are not only developed faster but are also inherently more secure and globally compliant, addressing the critical needs of the financial industry.

The core of this partnership involves the seamless integration of Protectt.ai’s advanced Mobile App Security and Fraud Control platform directly into i-exceed’s Low-Code Digital Banking Platform. This integration means that i-exceed's platform will now be natively equipped with Protectt.ai’s cutting-edge mobile threat defense and runtime protection capabilities, offering a comprehensive security layer from the ground up.

This strategic initiative directly addresses the urgent and growing need to embed security deeply within the mobile app development lifecycle, particularly as mobile app-driven business models become increasingly prevalent across regulated industries. Enterprises leveraging i-exceed’s platform will now benefit significantly from Protectt.ai’s pre-integrated, real-time defenses. This empowers them to build secure-by-design applications more rapidly, thereby reducing vulnerabilities, minimizing compliance risks associated with data protection and privacy regulations, and lowering overall operational overhead. A key outcome is enhanced end-user trust, fostered by the built-in security measures protecting critical banking and financial mobile applications.

The alliance brings forth several key benefits for organizations. These include: Real-Time Threat Defense, offering instant and continuous protection from a wide array of threats such as malware, financial fraud, and runtime exploits. Faster Secure Development is achieved as built-in security features streamline the development process and accelerate app rollout times. The platform provides All-in-One Security, consolidating over 100 distinct security features for both Android and iOS operating systems, which eliminates the need for multiple standalone security tools. Furthermore, it features a Globally Regulatory Compliant Architecture, meticulously designed to meet stringent international and local regulatory standards including those set by RBI, SEBI, GDPR, OWASP, MAS, and NIST. Finally, Advanced Fraud Control capabilities enable real-time detection and proactive prevention of fraudulent activities.

Manish Mimani, Founder & CEO of Protectt.ai, emphasized the critical importance of proactive security measures in the current digital landscape. He stated, "In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, mobile app security cannot be an afterthought. Our partnership with i-exceed represents a paradigm shift in how BFSI enterprises approach mobile app development. By seamlessly embedding our runtime protection capabilities into the i-exceed platform, we are empowering developers to build secure-by-design apps from the outset, reducing risk and accelerating innovation."

Echoing this sentiment, S. Sundararajan, CEO of i-exceed, highlighted his company's deep commitment to delivering secure, innovative, and seamless mobile banking experiences. "Our partnership with Protectt.ai marks a significant step forward in strengthening our mobile application runtime security," he remarked. "This enables the mobile application solution to integrate best-in-class Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) along with code obfuscation techniques. Consequently, we are able to proactively detect and defend against emerging threats targeting our clients’ mobile apps. This collaboration reinforces the trust placed in us by millions of users and ensures we continue to meet the highest standards of security and performance." Mr. Sundararajan also expressed enthusiasm about setting new benchmarks for secure digital transformation in the financial services space through this joint effort.

Ultimately, this strategic partnership between Protectt.ai and i-exceed is poised to establish new industry standards for secure digital transformation within the financial services sector. It offers a robust, integrated solution for developing and deploying secure mobile applications with greater efficiency and confidence, benefiting both financial institutions and their end-users.
