Appdome to Fraudsters: “Catch Us If You Can”; Mobile Security Leader Surges as AI Scams Skyrocket

As cybercriminals turn to deepfakes, AI bots, and social engineering scams to loot mobile users, Appdome is having none of it.

The mobile security firm has officially been named a Quadrant Leader in mobile fraud detection and prevention, according to customer-verified rankings, rising 16 spots in just 18 months.

Appdome’s rapid ascent is not fueled by buzzwords or industry jargon but by the real-world success of its AI-native platform that shields Android and iOS apps from modern threats.

In a time when mobile fraud has become as common as autocorrect fails, the company’s rise to the top reflects just how urgent the demand for serious mobile defense has become.

According to a 2024 industry survey, 58% of consumers ranked mobile fraud as their top cybersecurity concern, with over 40% claiming firsthand or secondhand exposure to scams or malware.

Appdome’s achievement also includes two new badges in the fraud prevention category, alongside prior recognition as a G2 Momentum Leader in Mobile Data Security, Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), and Application Shielding.

The surge in fraud isn’t theoretical—account takeovers (ATOs) have jumped 24% year-over-year, and deepfake attack attempts have exploded by over 2,000% since 2021.

“Digital trust and identity protection require a unified risk engine that ties together all the critical threat signals,” said Appdome CEO and Co-Creator Tom Tovar.

For mobile-first businesses grappling with the digital equivalent of whack-a-mole, Appdome’s multi-layered approach is proving essential.

Legacy tools—often siloed and static—are increasingly failing to keep up with attackers who are as agile as they are anonymous.

Enter Appdome’s platform: 400+ anti-fraud defenses that require zero SDKs, zero server setup, and—miraculously—zero engineering effort.

That’s right, developers don’t have to rip their apps apart just to stay protected.

Instead, they can deploy countermeasures like behavior-based geo-fraud detection, deepfake identity stream monitoring, and advanced device integrity checks at will.

The company’s no-nonsense, on-demand model has earned it G2’s honors for “Best Meets Requirements,” “Easiest to Use,” and “Easiest to Do Business With” for three consecutive years.

“Fraud detection can’t live in a vacuum,” said Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer at Appdome.

He added that bundling fraud prevention with telemetry, bot defense, and threat analysis isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a survival tactic.

Appdome’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by security industry heavyweights.

The company picked up multiple Global InfoSec Awards at RSA Conference 2025 and was spotlighted by Intellyx and the InfoSec Innovator Awards in 2024.

The real bragging rights, however, come from the app developers and mobile businesses who use Appdome every day.

“Our customers can scale their defenses while others stall,” said Jamie Bertasi, Chief Customer Officer, noting that Appdome’s architecture enables constant evolution in fraud defense without integration chaos.

That flexibility is especially critical as attacks grow in complexity and frequency, targeting everything from banking apps to e-commerce platforms.

With AI-driven scams growing faster than your screen time, Appdome’s value proposition is clear: security without the slowdowns.

And in today’s hyper-connected, breach-prone landscape, that might be the biggest flex of all.
