In a strategic move aimed at enhancing the security landscape of mobile banking, cybersecurity company Protectt.ai has announced a collaboration with digital banking platform provider i-exceed. The partnership seeks to integrate advanced mobile threat defense capabilities into i-exceed’s low-code platform, Appzillon, ensuring that mobile banking applications are secure by design.

With the increasing shift towards mobile-first banking, financial institutions are under growing pressure to safeguard customer data and digital infrastructure from threats such as SIM swap fraud, malware, device tampering, and phishing attacks. This collaboration comes at a crucial time, as the frequency and complexity of mobile threats continue to evolve at an alarming pace.

Protectt.ai, a leader in real-time mobile threat detection and fraud prevention, currently secures over 300 million mobile devices and processes over two billion app sessions monthly. The firm’s security suite offers a comprehensive range of features, including runtime application self-protection (RASP), device and SIM binding, behavioral analytics, and fraud detection. These features will now be embedded into i-exceed’s Appzillon development framework, enabling financial institutions to build and launch secure applications from day one.

i-exceed, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bengaluru, is a global player in the fintech space. Its Appzillon platform is used by over 110 banks across more than 90 countries. Known for its robust low-code capabilities, the platform helps institutions roll out digital services rapidly without compromising on user experience or regulatory compliance.

By integrating Protectt.ai’s mobile security stack directly into the Appzillon platform, the two companies aim to provide banks with a one-stop solution that simplifies the development process while adhering to regulatory standards set by bodies such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

“This collaboration enables us to offer a secure development environment right from the start,” said Manish Mimani, Founder and CEO of Protectt.ai. “We are helping banks move from reactive security practices to proactive threat prevention.” S. Sundararajan, Co-founder and CEO of i-exceed, added, “With Protectt.ai’s real-time protection, we are raising the bar for security in digital banking. Together, we’re empowering banks to roll out secure, scalable, and customer-centric apps more efficiently than ever before.”

The new solution will allow developers to build applications with embedded security features, reducing the need for additional integrations and third-party security add-ons. It also promises faster time-to-market for banks, along with enhanced protection against real-time attacks. The integrated platform is expected to roll out first with selected banks in India before expanding to global markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Future developments will likely include AI-driven fraud intelligence and adaptive risk scoring mechanisms to further strengthen digital trust.

As the financial services industry continues its digital transformation, this partnership sets a new benchmark for mobile app security—offering both speed and safety in an increasingly connected world.
