## AI overview

The article explains how profiling instrumented mobile applications helps teams apply obfuscation and runtime security controls at appropriate levels while limiting effects on stability, performance, and user experience. It also discusses automating application profiling at scale through AI-driven and agentic testing.

## Source excerpt

Mobile application security has evolved significantly over the past decade. Modern applications routinely employ code obfuscation, runtime application self-protection (RASP), anti-tampering controls, jailbreak and root detection, debugger detection, certificate pinning, and a variety of other runtime defenses designed to protect intellectual property and sensitive user data.
