New capability enables security and engineering teams to update approved security, anti-fraud, and bot-defense policies in live apps without a new build, using AI-assisted governance and a complete audit trail

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Appdome, the agentic platform for protecting mobile brands and businesses at scale, today introduced Remote Management, a new capability that enables organizations to update security, anti-fraud, and bot-defense policies already running in live, published mobile apps without rebuilding or republishing the app.

Today, even a focused change to a mobile defense – such as updating a trust list, changing a bot-defense profile, or rotating a certificate, requires engineering resources to produce a new build, submit to app-store review, and users adopting the latest version. Remote Management gives organizations another option: change approved policies for protections already embedded in the app, so teams can respond while an attack, fraud campaign, or operational risk is still active.

“Cyber teams should not have to stop at identifying risk; they should be able to act on it. Remote Management expands what cyber can own in production, while keeping the same discipline enterprises expect from any operational change. AI helps teams understand a proposed change, and human approvals, segregation of duties, and a complete record remain in control,” said Tom Tovar, Co-Creator and CEO, Appdome.

From Build-Time Protection to Continuous Operations

Remote Management extends Appdome’s mobile app security lifecycle beyond build and deployment. Customers can use Live Updates across four broad areas:

Configuration: keys, certificates, pinning, hosts, APIs, and related settings.Trust: approved or blocked domains, endpoints, on-device applications, and threat-triggering conditions.Signaling: device, application, payload, and risk data shared with backend systems.Enforcement: in-app actions, messages, data handling, and policy responses.

Remote Management is a defense-control capability, not a code-distribution channel. A Live Update changes the configuration or behavior of protections already present in the app; it does not add new features or executable logic. New code and features continue through the normal build and release process.

Enterprise Guardrails for Every Change

Every Live Update follows a Request-Approve-Deploy workflow. A team member submits the requested change and its reason, a designated approver reviews it, and an authorized administrator deploys it only after approval. AI-assisted guidance helps teams evaluate potential impact and identify conflicts before deployment; the production workflow remains human-governed. Every submission, approval, rejection, withdrawal, expiration, acknowledgement, and deployment is captured in Appdome Vault, the system of record for mobile security and compliance. This gives security, engineering, operations, and compliance teams searchable evidence of what changed, who approved it, when it changed, and why.

“With great power comes great responsibility; today, humans control the live update, assisted by AI on Appdome. Tomorrow, agents will request and perform the live updates approved by the humans on Appdome,” said Roy Cohen, Product & Engineering Lead – Manage, Appdome.

A Common Operating Layer for Security and Engineering

Remote Management can be used by both cyber and engineering teams, allowing each organization to decide who may request, approve, and deploy changes according to its roles and policies. The result is faster action without bypassing engineering discipline, enterprise governance, or established separation of duties.

By combining post-deployment control with AI-assisted decision support and enterprise workflow, Remote Management creates a foundation for faster, more adaptive mobile defense over time – without treating automation as a substitute for accountability.

“Organizations face a dilemma when they need to apply a security patch to a mobile app: either require users to return to the app store to download a new version or instrument the app to accept possibly malicious updates on the fly,” said Jason Bloomberg, managing director at analyst firm Intellyx. “Appdome solves this dilemma with Remote Management, which empowers organizations to update security and other policies on downloaded apps without requiring a trip to the app store nor opening up the possibility of additional compromise.”

Availability

Remote Management will be demonstrated at Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas and is available now to Appdome customers licensed for Remote Management. To learn more, visit Appdome.com

Price Cuts Converge with Last Year’s Pace — Led by a Surprising Pair of Regions — as Pending Sales Mark an Eighth Straight Month of Growth

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The housing market is settling into its expected summer slowdown, with sellers increasingly adjusting prices while buyer demand continues to hold up, according to the Realtor.com® July 2026 Monthly Housing Trends Report released today.

The national median list price was $428,950 in July, essentially unchanged from June but down 2.4% from a year ago — the ninth consecutive month of annual price declines. At the same time, the share of listings with a price reduction rose to 20.0%, just 0.6 percentage points below last July after running nearly two percentage points below year-ago levels throughout the spring. Pending sales increased 1.3% year over year, extending their growth streak to eight months, though momentum has slowed from 4.1% in May and 3.7% in June.

“July’s data show a market that is cooling seasonally, not coming apart,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist, Realtor.com®. “Sellers are making more price adjustments as summer progresses, and buyers are responding more selectively, but homes are still going under contract at a faster pace than last year. The key question for the months ahead is whether price reductions help sustain buyer engagement or signal that sellers are getting ahead of softer demand.”

The median home spent 57 days on the market in July, four days longer than in June but one day less than a year ago — the first outright annual decline after 26 consecutive months in which homes took longer to sell than the year before. The July pace matches the pre-pandemic norm for the month.
 

Price Cuts Rise as the Gap With Last Year Narrows

Sellers reduced prices on 20.0% of active listings in July, up 1.2 percentage points from June and down just 0.6 percentage points from a year earlier. That year-over-year gap narrowed sharply from June, when the share was 1.9 percentage points below the prior year.

The regional pattern is notable: price cuts remain least common in the Northeast, at 13.7% of listings, and the Midwest, at 18.7%. However, both regions are now above their year-ago rates, by 1.0 percentage points and 0.3 percentage points, respectively. In contrast, price-cut shares remain below last year’s levels in the South, at 21.3%, and West, at 21.9%.

Among the 50 largest metros, price reductions were least common in Hartford 9.0%, New York 9.7%, Buffalo 10.5%). They were most common in Portland 31.0%, Denver 30.9%, Dallas 28.3%Twelve of the 50 largest metros had at least one-quarter of active listings with a price reduction.

Asking Prices Continue to Ease, With a Persistent Regional Divide

The national median list price fell 2.4% year over year, a smaller decline than June’s 2.5% drop. Price per square foot — which adjusts for differences in the size mix of homes for sale — declined 2.0% from a year earlier. It is now down in 34 of the 50 largest metros.

Price trends continued to vary sharply by region. Median list prices declined 3.9% in the West and 2.5% in the South, 1.4% in the Northeast and grew 0.2% in the Midwest. On a price-per-square-foot basis, the Midwest (+1.8%) and Northeast (+0.6%) posted gains, while the South (-2.9%) and West (-1.2%) continued to decline.

Austin, Texas (-8.5%), Memphis, Tenn. (-6.0%) and Tampa, Fla. (-4.8%) saw the largest annual declines in list price per square foot among the 50 largest metros. Providence +8.3%, Indianapolis +4.8%, Hartford +4.5% recorded the largest gains.

Inventory Growth Stalls Nationally as Midwest and Northeast Pull Ahead

Active listings rose 2.1% from June and 2.1% from a year ago to 1,126,252.  National inventory growth has remained in the low single digits in recent months, leaving the number of homes for sale 11.6% below typical 2017–2019 levels.

Inventory growth was strongest in the Midwest (+9.3%) and Northeast (+8.3%), while the South was essentially flat (-0.2%) and the West edged up 0.6%. Thirty-four of the 50 largest metros recorded annual inventory gains, led by Minneapolis (+29.3%), Louisville, Ky. (+24.9%) and Seattle (+21.4%). Jacksonville, Fla. (-20.0%), Miami (-16.9%) and San Francisco (-16.3%) saw the sharpest declines.

Pending Sales Stay Positive, but Growth Loses Speed

The stock of listings in pending status rose 1.3% year over year in July, marking the eighth straight month of annual growth. It is the first eight-month stretch of year-over-year pending-sales growth since November 2020 through June 2021.

Still, the pace has softened over the past two months. “The summer test is whether sellers and buyers stay aligned as activity slows,” said Jake Krimmel, senior economist, Realtor.com®. “In July, homes are not sitting longer than they did a year ago and pending sales are still positive, which argues for a normal seasonal cooldown. But price cuts are moving closer to last year’s pace, so August will be important: if cuts accelerate while pending sales weaken and sellers pull listings, that would be a more concerning combination.”

Methodology
Realtor.com housing data as of July 2026. Listings include the active inventory of existing single-family homes and condos/townhomes/row homes/co-ops for the given level of geography on Realtor.com; new construction is excluded unless listed via an MLS that provides listing data to Realtor.com. Realtor.com data history goes back to July 2016. The 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB-202301) and Claritas 2025 estimates of household counts.

Beginning with our April 2025 report, we have transitioned to a revised national pending home sales data series that applies enhanced cleaning methods to improve consistency and accuracy over time. While the insights and commentary in this report reflect the new series, the downloadable data remains based on our legacy automated pipeline. As a result, there may be slight differences between the report figures and those in the national download file as we transition.

With the release of its January 2025 housing trends report, Realtor.com® restated data points for some previous months. As a result of these changes, some of the data released since January 2025 will not be directly comparable with previous data releases (files downloaded before January 2025) and Realtor.com® economics research reports.

Methodology for cancellations: A contract cancellation is counted if a listing was pending on one day and then back to active the next. It may miss a few that have been entirely delisted.

Contract Signings represent the flow of homes entering pending status in a given month (i.e. homes that went under contract for the first time in that period). This is a flow measure, not a stock measure. This distinguishes it from the stock of pending listings, which measures the total number of homes under contract at a given point in time regardless of when they entered that status.
