What Actually Happened Last Year
In March 2024, one of our clients got hit with a credential stuffing attack at 2 AM on a Saturday. Their customer database had about 180,000 accounts. The attack came through their mobile app's login endpoint, and someone was systematically testing stolen username-password combinations from a data breach that happened at a completely different company.
We caught it because we'd set up anomaly detection that flagged unusual login patterns. The system noticed 4,000 failed login attempts from distributed IP addresses within fifteen minutes. That's not normal user behavior. Our on-call engineer got paged, isolated the affected endpoints, and started blocking the attack vectors while the client's team was still asleep.
By the time they woke up Monday morning, we'd already patched the vulnerability, reset compromised accounts, and written a detailed incident report. Zero customer data leaked. But here's what matters: this wasn't some sophisticated nation-state attack. It was basic credential stuffing that happens thousands of times every day across Southeast Asia.
Authentication Hardening
We enforce multi-factor authentication on sensitive endpoints and monitor for suspicious login patterns. Rate limiting stops brute force attempts before they become problems.
Real-Time Monitoring
Our systems watch API traffic 24/7 for anomalies. When something looks wrong, we investigate immediately rather than waiting for damage reports.
Incident Response
We maintain documented procedures for common attack vectors. When incidents happen, we follow tested protocols instead of improvising under pressure.
A retail company came to us after their previous IT provider left them running an outdated API version with known vulnerabilities. They didn't know it was outdated. They just knew their mobile app sometimes behaved strangely. We found three critical security issues in the first week of assessment. None of them were exotic. All of them were documented vulnerabilities with public exploits available online.
Security isn't about implementing every possible defense mechanism. It's about understanding which threats actually matter for your specific situation and addressing those systematically. A logistics company faces different risks than a retail app. A payment processor needs different protections than a social platform.
What We Actually Do
- Regular vulnerability assessments of your mobile infrastructure
- Encrypted data transmission with proper certificate management
- API security testing before production deployment
- Access control reviews and permission audits
- Security patch management for backend systems
- Penetration testing from external threat perspectives
What We Don't Do
- Promise zero risk or absolute security
- Implement security theater that looks good but doesn't help
- Use scare tactics to sell unnecessary services
- Create security policies nobody can actually follow
- Ignore usability in favor of maximum restrictions
- Treat security as a one-time project instead of ongoing work
The truth is that perfect security doesn't exist. Every system has vulnerabilities. Every defense has weaknesses. What matters is detecting problems early, responding effectively when incidents happen, and continuously improving your security posture based on real threats rather than theoretical ones.
We work with businesses in Rayong and across Thailand who need practical mobile app security that fits their actual risk profile. Not enterprise-grade overkill for a small operation. Not inadequate protection for a growing platform. Just appropriate, well-implemented security measures that address the threats you actually face.
