Dublin-based Mobile security firm, AdaptiveMobile has launched Messaging App Security, a new product that offers a RESTful API to messaging applications to secure their user base from increasing volume and sophistication of threats. It enables mesaging applications such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to provide a secure messaging experience for users.
Through advanced threat detection algorithms, user reputation analysis and traffic controls, Messaging App Security enables app providers to identify and block both new threats and those crossing over from conventional messaging.

As messaging applications and social platforms evolve and converge, they are increasingly looking to innovations to deliver value-add and differentiated services – such as Facebook’s launch of Uber in-app and WeChat’s expansion to offer its significant in-app features and e-commerce platform outside of China – making the need for a secure messaging environment more crucial than ever.
