Appknox is among the youngest cybersecurity companies to make it to the list, going head to head with large companies like Qualys and Rapid7

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 31, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Appknox, a mobile security company headquartered in Singapore, with offices in Bangalore and San Jose, has been named among the Top 10 Vulnerability Management Solution Providers of 2018 by Enterprise Security Magazine. The list also names large well-known brands in the cybersecurity space including Qualys and Rapid7.

Appknox provides mobile app security testing. It uses a cloud-based automated scanning system that detects and resolves security issues in a matter of minutes, all without the need to share any source code. Every mobile app being tested on Appknox goes through a series of deep tests including Static Analysis; Dynamic Analysis; API testing; and Manual Testing. Appknox uses a unique behavioral testing methodology that mimics what external hackers would do when trying to break into an application. All the dynamic tests are performed on real devices that are part of Appknox’s device farm which is then rendered to the browser for users to interact on.

Speaking to Enterprise Security Magazine, Prateek Panda, Co-Founder and CMO, Appknox said, “Appknox employs a high focus on automation to help ensure that security testing goes hand in hand with the software development lifecycle. Additionally, automation helps achieve predictability and dependability in terms of quality of the tests performed which is difficult to achieve with pure manual tests.”

The Singapore-based company launched its automated mobile app security solution in 2015, starting with India and Singapore, and has worked with some of the top banks, e-commerce and payments businesses including Paytm, Times Internet, BigBasket, CitrusPay, Redmart, and Singapore Airlines.

Appknox is driving towards building a safe and secure mobile ecosystem for businesses and consumers around the world as both startups and high-tech companies continue to rely on mobile apps for consumption and reach.

From its initial focus on the Asian market, the company is now aiming for global expansion and has acquired more than 12 partners in Japan, EU, USA, Sri Lanka, and the Middle-East. “We provide a system that is easy to use and onboard for our partners. In some regions we have jointly launched white-labelled solutions that have received good traction. It’s a win-win for everyone - our partners, our customers, and of course our company. End of the day, our customers are able to access a variety of solutions along with Appknox that helps improve the overall security scope internally,” said Harshit Agarwal, Co-founder & CEO of Appknox.
