Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting sensitive mobile applications from attack include incorporating private application access software in a mobile application that operates on a user device to provide functionality to an end user, the functionality is separate from the private application access; deploying application connectors in front of a private application that is accessed by the mobile application; responsive to a request to access the private application, authenticating the end user through the mobile application; and, responsive to authentication, providing access to the private application through the mobile application via a plurality of secure tunnels. The application connectors are configured to only provide outbound connections, thereby protecting the private application from the attack. The request to access is received via a cloud-based system which is configured to drop any invalid request, thereby protecting the private application from the attack.
