Guided migration
CI/CD onboarding, device setup, and rollout planning included.
On-prem or private cloud
Your binaries and findings never leave your environment.
From findings to fixes
Every scanner finds vulnerabilities. What matters is what happens next. Most platforms thin out when the scan ends. Appknox keeps going.
Scan everything
Privacy Shield New · Store Release ReadinessSAST, DAST, API testing, binary SBOM (CycloneDX) — table stakes, both match. Appknox adds Privacy Shield exposure mapping and Store Release Readiness checks.
Test on real devices
DAST runs on real physical devices — and you get access to them. NowSecure's DAST doesn't run on real devices.
Triage with AI
KnoxIQAI-native automated triaging — validated findings, prioritized by likelihood of exploit, with contextual remediation your AI coding tools can pick up.

NowSecure generates findings.
Appknox validates
what attackers can exploit.
Appknox covers the scan — then keeps working through real-device validation, AI-native triage, privacy exposure, and ecosystem monitoring that NowSecure leaves to add-ons, services, or nobody.
Real devices. Really yours.
Appknox runs AI-led DAST on real physical devices — and your team gets access to them. Validate runtime abuse emulators can't reproduce, exactly where attacks happen.
-
✓
SSL bypass & runtime abuse, validated on actual hardware
-
✓
Insecure API flows observed in real network conditions
-
✓
Rooted-device attacks tested the way attackers run them
Triage, done. By AI.
KnoxIQ is AI-native automated triaging. It clears the queue before your engineers see it — so they fix the handful of real risks instead of wading through hundreds of findings.
-
1
Validated findings — every result checked before it reaches your queue
-
2
Exploitability-based prioritization — ranked by likelihood of exploit, not raw CVSS
-
3
Contextual remediation — fixes with context that plug into your AI coding tools
Shipped isn't finished. Storeknox watches.
Your risk doesn't end at release. Storeknox monitors app stores continuously for the threats that never show up in a scan.
-
✓
Drift detection — catch store builds that differ from your approved release
-
✓
Fake app detection — impersonators and clones flagged across stores
-
✓
Brand-abuse detection — misuse of your name, logo, and listings
See what your app leaks — before regulators do.
Privacy Shield maps PII exposure, risky permissions, and third-party data flows directly from your production binary.
-
✓
PII exposure mapping — identify where location, contacts, and device IDs are transmitted
-
✓
Third-party SDK flow detection — monitor data leaks from external code packages
-
✓
Regulatory audit readiness — mapping aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and regional laws
Pass store review the first time.
Check every build against app store security and privacy requirements before you submit — no surprise rejections.
-
✓
Privacy manifests validation — ensure required reasons API declarations are present
-
✓
Store-rejection prevention — pre-checks match Apple and Google Play policies
-
✓
Automated compliance checks — validation embedded directly in pipeline
Human researchers, in-platform.
In-house security researchers work inside the same platform your team already uses — not a separately scoped PTaaS engagement billed on the side.
-
✓
In-platform hybrid validation — automated findings verified by human experts
-
✓
Zero false positives guarantee — human review weeds out all erroneous results
-
✓
Continuous pentesting — on-demand research on core APIs and business logic
