In 2026, the focus has shifted from reactive "patching" to autonomous security and identity-first defense. Key themes include: Agentic AI & Threat Intelligence: Using AI agents to proactively hunt for mobile-specific threats and automate root cause analysis for execution failures. App Attestation: Securing the APIs mobile apps rely on by ensuring only genuine, untampered apps can communicate with backend servers. Tamper-Proofing Identity: Strengthening age and identity verification flows against advanced fraud and SDK-level manipulation. Zero-Trust Mobile Architecture: Moving security decisions server-side to prevent "clumsy" client-side blocking that ruins user experience.
