The list of threats and risk indicators identified by on-device and cloud-based analysis is shared with the host app, at both a
high level (threat category) and at a granular level (threat factor).
Granular policy controls enable app owners to maintain a good balance between user experience and security. For example,
one might choose to ignore a late software update and not restrict the user’s access to an app, while wiping locally stored
data when a device is jailbroken or rooted, or alerting a user when a banking Trojan is installed.
SandBlast App Protect fully preserves user-privacy as all sensitive security analytics are performed on-device and no private
data is ever analyzed or collected.
