Appdome, a leader in mobile security, has unveiled new dynamic defense plugins designed to detect and protect against DeepSeek AI attacks on Android and iOS devices. These plugins, part of Appdome’s AI-native defense platform, use behavioral analytics to identify unusual file access, data extraction, user monitoring, and suspicious network traffic associated with DeepSeek spyware.
DeepSeek, an AI-powered chatbot app, has gained significant popularity but also poses major cybersecurity risks, especially for enterprises and government agencies. The app has been linked to unauthorized data collection and the potential for surveillance by state-linked entities. With reports indicating that DeepSeek can harvest and transmit user data without encryption, it presents a significant threat to corporate and government mobile devices.
Enterprises are struggling to detect DeepSeek’s presence, especially on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) setups. While some organizations have banned DeepSeek, without a tool like Appdome, it remains difficult to identify or prevent the app’s use on mobile devices. Appdome’s new plugins provide businesses with the ability to detect DeepSeek in real-time and enforce security policies to mitigate risks, particularly in mobile enterprise apps.
“The explosive popularity of DeepSeek AI creates a serious and immediate risk to the mobile enterprise,” said Tom Tovar, CEO of Appdome. “Our solution empowers businesses to detect and prevent DeepSeek from infiltrating their apps and exposing sensitive data.”
The new defense options allow enterprises to safeguard mobile apps against DeepSeek and enforce policies to block data leakage through the app. With the rise of AI tools like DeepSeek, experts emphasize the need for organizations to implement early detection systems for emerging cybersecurity threats.
Appdome’s AI-native platform helps organizations stay ahead of evolving risks, offering real-time threat detection without the need for code integration or manual configuration, making it a crucial tool for cybersecurity in the mobile enterprise space.
