Appknox, a leader in mobile application security, has introduced new AI-powered features to address the growing challenges posed by Generative AI and enhance mobile ecosystem protection. The new capabilities provide businesses with real-time threat detection, proactive defense mechanisms, and privacy vulnerability management, empowering security teams to safeguard their organizations effectively.
The rapid digital transformation in the GCC region, coupled with the surge in mobile app adoption, has led to increased risks from cyber threats such as malware, phishing, and brand impersonation. With ambitious digital strategies like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s AI strategy, the demand for robust mobile security solutions has never been higher.
Appknox’s new AI-driven features include app discovery and inventory management for real-time visibility, brand protection against malicious apps, privacy vulnerability detection to ensure compliance with global standards, and early identification of security flaws during the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). These features aim to provide comprehensive security for mobile ecosystems, addressing the limitations of traditional tools in combating sophisticated cyberattacks.
Subho Halder, CEO of Appknox, emphasized the importance of staying ahead of emerging challenges and delivering innovative solutions to redefine mobile application security. In 2024, Appknox achieved significant milestones, including being recognized as a ‘Strong Performer’ in Gartner’s Voice of the Customer for Application Security Testing, scanning over 21,000 apps and detecting 285,000+ vulnerabilities.
Appknox’s commitment to innovation is reflected in its 48% growth in enterprise customers, as it continues to provide businesses with the tools needed to secure their mobile apps and ensure compliance with global standards like GDPR and CCPA.
