Jscrambler, a technology company specialising in JavaScript Application Security and Webpage Monitoring solutions for Web and Mobile Applications, today announces the successful implementation of its market leading obfuscation technology with dotConnect, a fintech with the vision to empower financial institutions to provide their clients with a platform that delivers an exceptional digital banking experience. dotConnect successfully applied Jscrambler during the development and delivery of the digital banking solutions for Al Rayan Bank and UBL UK, two fast-growing banks in the UK.

With 73% of all consumer interactions with banks done digitally, security is critical for banks. To support its banking clients – Al Rayan Bank and UBL UK – dotConnect required a solution that addressed security challenges.

The answer to dotConnect’s challenges in terms of source code protection was the cutting-edge technology provided by Jscrambler. Because dotConnect had to ensure maximum protection of the JavaScript source code, its team decided to combine two of Jscrambler’s most effective client-side security layers: JavaScript Obfuscation and Self-Defending.

Jscrambler’s polymorphic JavaScript Obfuscation includes several different techniques that transform the original source code into a new version that is extremely hard to understand and reverse-engineer while keeping its original functionality. Included in this layer is Jscrambler’s Code Hardening feature, which provides up-to-date protection against all reverse-engineering tools and techniques. 

On top of this advanced obfuscation, dotConnect uses Jscrambler Self-Defending, a security layer that adds integrity checks and other runtime defenses that prevent attackers from debugging or tampering with the code. As such, if anyone tries to debug the protected banking app at runtime, the app will immediately break. Likewise, if an attacker tries to modify the code to dynamically understand its logic at runtime, the application will break to stop the attack.

In the 16 months since the Al Rayan banking app was launched, it has been used by over 25,000 customers for their day-to-day banking. Reinforcing its commitment to providing secure online and mobile products and services, the bank will enhance its digital offering in 2021 with further improvements to its mobile banking app. Although UBL UK is a much more recent launch, everything is shaping up for this to be yet another success case for dotConnect. The implementation is expected to go through further penetration tests as the delivery progresses through its phases but dotConnect is comfortable and confident in the outcome.

“Since integrating Jscrambler, we have consistently passed strict penetration testing and delivered secure mobile banking apps to our clients,” said Mohamed Gamil, CEO and Founder of dotConnect. 

“Jscrambler is a key component that bolsters our security layer, thus assuring us at dotConnect that we deliver secure and trusted solutions to our clients and their customers,” added Saj Shahid, CXO and Founder of dotConnect.
