These solutions integrate smoothly into DevOps and DevSecOps workflows, enabling faster and more reliable application release cycles. Appknox has tested over 1.7 million applications globally across 60 countries, ensuring compliance with international standards such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CWE, OWASP (MASVS and MSTG), and meeting the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) requirements.
To address data residency concerns, Appknox provides local cloud and on-premises deployment options, ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabia’s privacy regulations. These offerings align with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, as digital transformation in sectors like fintech and e-commerce necessitates robust security measures to combat evolving threats.
