FinDEVr Preview: SnoopWall

By David Penn Posted on September 3, 2015
Categories: FinDEVr 2015 Preview, SnoopWall

FinDEVr Previews highlight the companies that will present their latest developer tools, platforms, and integrations at FinDEVr 2015 San Francisco on 6/7 October.

FinDEVr is the premier event for fintech developers. To save your spot, visit our registration page today and take advantage of early-bird savings!

It’s the year of mCrime (mobile crime) and all banking apps can easily be eavesdropped by ‘trusted apps’ that are actually malware allowed on iTunes, Google Play, and Microsoft App store. SnoopWall will present a live demo of this ‘breaking into my own bank account’ on mobile using a malicious Flashlight App. Then, you’ll learn about AppSHIELD SDK.

Why it’s a must-see
AppSHIELD SDK is the only solution to this problem that works. We’ll show how IBM Trusteer SDK; InAuth SDK; and Arxan are easily circumvented by cyber-criminals to steal consumer PII. If you see AppSHIELD SDK in action—now in 95+ financial institutions—you’ll want it in your banking app to protect your consumers and your brand.

FinDEVr Preview: Spreedly

Categories: FinDEVr 2015 Preview, Spreedly

Spreedly provides APIs that minimize the complexity, cost, and risk of PCI compliance and payment integration. With “The Uberization of Mobile,” customers want discovery, purchase, and delivery all handled within an app. It’s no longer necessary to redirect end-users to affiliate sites to complete a purchase with Spreedly’s universal vault product.

Why it’s a must-see
Tokenizing with one gateway removes the burden of PCI compliance, but locks that card into a single gateway. Building your own PCI-compliant vault is a huge undertaking. A card tokenized with Spreedly can be used multiple times against different gateways or API endpoints.

FinDEVr Preview: The Beast Apps

Categories: FinDEVr 2015 Preview, The Beast Apps

FinDEVr Previews highlight the companies that will present their latest developer tools, platforms, and integrations at FinDEVr 2015 San Francisco on 6/7 October.

Using BeastSDK and AWS from The Beast Apps, you can build, test, and deploy complex—pre-trade, trade, or post-trade—financial applications in the cloud within minutes that can be immediately accessed by anybody anywhere in the world using any desktop, browser, phone, or tablet. Anybody, anywhere can collaborate on the app with others—fully audit-trailed—using any device.

Why it’s a must-see
Software teams spend 20% of their time building their ‘secret sauce’ and 80% in distributing that secret sauce. In the financial industry, a real-time, interactive, secure and permissioned distribution of apps is a major challenge. The Beast’s Application Distribution as a Service (ADaaS) reduces the distribution challenges significantly.

Avalara helps businesses negotiate the “weird and wacky world of sales tax.”

Did you know that sales-tax in the U.S. is handled unlike any other place on the planet? There are over 12,000 taxing jurisdictions covering millions of tax-ability rule-combinations. This makes it hard for businesses to ensure compliance and thereby avoid the assessor’s wrath.

Why it’s a must-see
This presentation will highlight the complexity, showcase some of the bizarre taxing cases, and demonstrate how this difficult problem can be solved through a robust technology stack.

Developers will learn how they can resolve their customer’s pain-points with a simple-to-use REST API.
