Application hardening measures are the most important action to protect a mobile banking app and
its data against manipulation and disclosure because they prevent attackers from reverse
engineering, tampering, or injecting malicious code into the app. Application hardening measures
include techniques such as code obfuscation, encryption, integrity checks, anti-debugging, and anti-
tampering mechanisms. These measures make the app more resilient and secure against various
types of cyberattacks.
