The mobile application security experts. Before release and after.

Mobile app security is how you protect an app, and the data it handles, from attack across its whole life. That covers testing the code and the compiled app before release, checking third-party SDKs, and watching for tampered or fake versions after launch. Appknox covers all of it on one platform.

MAST is testing an Android or iOS app for vulnerabilities using static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST) and API testing. Appknox runs all three on the compiled app, on real devices, on every build, so you test exactly what your users download.

Severity is a score for how bad a vulnerability could be, usually from CVSS. Exploitability is whether an attacker can actually use it in your app, as it runs on a real phone. A critical can be unreachable, and a medium can be the way in. Appknox proves exploitability on real Android and iOS devices, so your team fixes the findings that matter first.

Start with the binary, not just the source code. Scan it statically, run it on a real device to see how it behaves, test the APIs it calls, and check every SDK inside it. Then confirm which findings can actually be exploited. Appknox automates every step from your CI/CD pipeline.

A mobile app pen test is a security expert trying to break your app the way an attacker would. Most regulators expect one at least once a year and after major releases. Appknox pairs manual pen testing with automated testing on every build, so nothing ships untested in between.

SAST reads the app's code and binary without running it, and finds issues like hardcoded secrets and weak crypto early. DAST runs the app and watches what it does: network traffic, local storage, runtime behaviour. You need both. Appknox runs DAST on real devices, because emulators miss what a rooted or jailbroken phone shows.

OWASP MASVS is the industry standard for mobile app security requirements, and the OWASP Mobile Top 10 lists the most common risks. Appknox reports map to the OWASP Mobile Top 10 2025, OWASP API Top 10 2023, OWASP MASVS and MASTG, and CWE, and to NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SAMA, DORA and the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). So you can hand your auditor findings in the format they already expect.

No. Upload the APK or IPA, or connect your pipeline, and we test the compiled app. That's what attackers see, and it includes the SDKs and libraries your source code doesn't show. Your code never leaves your hands. If your data has to stay in-country, we can run on-prem or in a private cloud.

App store monitoring is tracking every version of your app that's live in public app stores, official and third-party. Appknox Storeknox discovers your apps, keeps the inventory current, flags versions that went live without a security scan, and catches fakes and repackaged clones using your brand, so you can act before your customers download them.

Yes. Knox MCP connects Appknox to your AI coding tools. For each validated finding, it checks how likely it is to be exploited (using EPSS) and turns the fix into a prompt with the affected code and steps to reproduce. The developer, or their coding agent, applies it in Cursor, Claude Code or GitHub Copilot, and the next scan confirms it's closed.
