The new versions of the Vista Mobile Banking and Vista eToken applications integrate the Appshielding (RASP) security feature

June 3, 2020

The new versions of the Vista Mobile Banking and Vista eToken applications integrate the Appshielding security feature. It protects better the two applications against a wide range of sophisticated cyber-attacks, such as malware attacks, vulnerabilities related to rooting / jailbreak, debugger connection, Code or Framework injection, application repackaging and app integrity breaches, malicious screen readers or untrusted keyboards, overlay attacks, Man-in-the-App and Man-in-the-Middle scenarios, sensitive embedded key protection (white-box crypto).

Thus, the new feature allows the two applications to run securely even on infected devices (smartphone, tablet). Whenever a suspicious activity occurs, Appshielding actively responds by taking necessary countermeasures to protect the end-user, preventing attackers from modifying the bank’s applications during runtime or at rest.

To benefit from all the improvements brought periodically to Vista Bank mobile applications, we recommend our clients to ensure that these are updated to the most recent versions.
