Application protection for public-service apps

Protection designed for real workflows, from banking to field operations.

Industry use cases1 min readEditorial methods

Public services need security and broad access. Include older devices, accessibility and account recovery in protection acceptance.

Evaluation approach

Separate identity changes, submissions and general information by risk. Use RASP context for critical actions while retaining server authentication and authorization. Unsupported devices and attack signals are different conditions.

Application example

If a user is blocked during an application process, preserve drafts and identify unfinished steps. Alternative channels should retain the required assurance, and support should use a helpful event code.

Limits and considerations

Enabled accessibility services are not evidence of malicious intent. Test legitimate assistive technology before broad restrictions.

Checks and decisions

  • Preserve transaction state
  • Test accessibility journeys
  • Provide support and alternative channels

Monitor effects across device groups and investigate concentrated blocks.
