Appknox, a global player in mobile application security, has introduced AI-driven features aimed at tackling the emerging threats posed by Generative AI while strengthening mobile ecosystem protection. These enhancements offer businesses real-time visibility, automated threat detection, and proactive defense mechanisms, equipping CISOs and security teams with tools to safeguard their organisations effectively.
The increasing adoption of mobile applications across the GCC region has heightened the demand for robust security measures. With industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce embracing a mobile-first approach, the risks associated with malware, phishing, and brand impersonation are growing. Digital transformation initiatives, including Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, further underscore the critical need for advanced mobile security solutions.
Appknox’s AI-powered features address the limitations of traditional security tools in detecting sophisticated cyberattacks. The new capabilities include AI-powered app discovery and inventory management for real-time visibility, brand protection against unauthorised or malicious apps, AI-driven privacy vulnerability detection to ensure compliance with global standards such as GDPR and CCPA, and early identification of security flaws during the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
“At Appknox, our mission is to stay ahead of emerging challenges and deliver innovative solutions that redefine mobile application security,” said Subho Halder, CEO of Appknox. “Our new AI-powered features equip CISOs and security teams with proactive tools to mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and build trust in the rapidly evolving digital landscape of the Gen AI era.”
In 2024, Appknox achieved several milestones, including recognition as a ‘Strong Performer’ in Gartner’s Voice of the Customer for Application Security Testing. The company scanned over 21,000 apps, identified more than 285,000 vulnerabilities, and maintained a 4.94/5 CSAT score. Additionally, Appknox recorded a 48% increase in enterprise customers, reflecting its continued focus on innovation and delivering tangible results for clients.
