Appknox

Appknox is a mobile application security company. It was started to make the mobile app ecosystem safer, and it checks the compiled app that ships to users rather than the source code.

What Appknox offers

• Vulnerability assessment — automated scanning that is triggered on new builds and flags weaknesses.
• Penetration testing — manual testing by security specialists to find hidden risks.
• Storeknox — monitoring of app stores for fake apps, forgotten apps and unauthorised versions that abuse a brand.
• Pipeline integration — fits into CI/CD workflows so releases are not slowed down.
