DexGuard Overview

What is DexGuard?

Full spectrum protection for Android apps. With extensive Android app obfuscation & security protocols, DexGuard provides the most comprehensive mobile app protection available. Secure your Android apps & SDKs through multiple layers of code hardening & RASP. The DexGuard NDK add-on extends all the protection offered by DexGuard — including multi-layered Android app code obfuscation., data obfuscation and RASP integration — to included C/C++ native libraries. DexGuard generates a Protection Report for each mobile app build that incorporates its protections. This report validates and assesses the applied protections, grading your app’s security configuration against key risk categories, providing further recommendations to improve security efficacy and surfacing potentially beneficial features to activate. When upgrading from ProGuard (or R8) to DexGuard, you can re-use your existing ProGuard configuration file. All you need to do is account for DexGuard’s additional functionality, including its RASP and obfuscation capabilities.
