Prevent Vishing Scams
Vishing, or "voice phishing," scams and telephone oriented attack delivery, or "T.O.A.D.," scams are each a type of social engineering attack where attackers use phone calls to trick mobile end users into providing sensitive information or performing harmful actions. In these vishing scams, the attacker poses as a trustworthy entity, such as the fraud department of a bank or consumer brand, and uses various psychological tactics to pressure and manipulate the victim. Appdome uses behavioral analysis to detect when the mobile end users’ activity in a mobile app (or its workflows) coincides with a potentially malicious phone call. When a vishing attack is detected, Appdome can inform the user or pass data to the application for the next mitigation.
