Apps are secured or security-wrapped either before they are downloaded onto a device, such as a smartphone or tablet device, or after they are downloaded but before they are allowed to access the device operating system and cause any potential damage to the device. An app provider, such as an employer or a cellphone provider, can secure its apps before consumers download an app from their app store or marketplace. The app is secured before it is allowed to access the operating system of the device, thereby preventing the app from malicious behavior. Core object code of the app is obtained and the digital signature is removed. App object code is substituted with security program object code, thereby creating a security-wrapped app. The security-wrapped app is prepared for execution on the device and is re-signed with a new key.

Invention manages underlying application objects that support implemented business functions. A performance manager accesses and interprets application metadata and execution environment metadata, using a hierarchical entity to model complex relationships between application abstractions, components and resources. The performance manager encodes common behavioral and architecture information in models resulting from analysis of component architecture standards, vendor application servers, development tools and administration tools. The performance manager conducts inter-component dependency and control flow analysis, for example by generating control flow graphs from application metadata and performing byte code analysis without access to application source code. The performance manager collects metrics from standardized and vendor-specific sources, instruments interpreters (such as the Java Virtual Machine), and collects and utilizes resource metrics, code performance metrics, configuration parameters, and transaction, failure and lifecycle events.

Apps are secured or security-wrapped either before they are downloaded onto a device, such as a smart phone or tablet device, or after they are downloaded but before they are allowed to access the device operating system and cause any potential damage to the device. The app is secured before it is allowed to access the operating system of the device, thereby preventing the app from malicious behavior. App object code is substituted with security program object code, thereby creating a security-wrapped app. The app is provisioned with a geo-fencing policy which prevents execution of an app outside a pre-defined geographical area. If the device is within the defined area, the app is allowed to execute. The geographical area, such as a building or company campus, is defined using longitude and latitude coordinates and a location accuracy value. Device location is obtained using location/GPS services on the device.
