Hello, how can we help you?

Appknox is a mobile application security testing (MAST) platform that combines automated vulnerability assessment (SAST, DAST, API testing), manual penetration testing, SBOM generation, and continuous app store monitoring into a single system. It is built by Xysec Labs and used by enterprises in BFSI, insurance, government, and Fortune 500 companies to find, prioritize, and fix mobile app security risks before release. 

Appknox works in four steps: upload your app's Android or iOS binary to the platform, which immediately triggers automated static analysis (SAST), followed by real-device dynamic analysis (DAST) and API security testing, then compiles the findings into a severity-ranked report with remediation guidance, all in under 90 minutes. Scans can also be triggered automatically by CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions instead of manual upload. 

Appknox is evaluated against other mobile application security testing (MAST) vendors on four criteria: real-device versus emulator-based testing; false-positive rate; breadth of coverage across SAST, DAST, API testing, SBOM, and app store monitoring; and depth of CI/CD integration. Appknox has published detailed side-by-side comparisons against Veracode, Zimperium, Checkmarx, NowSecure, and Data Theorem covering feature parity, pricing structure, and best-fit use cases. 

Appknox differentiates in three ways: real-device testing instead of emulator-only scanning, under 1% false-positive rate through combined automated and analyst-verified scanning, and full-stack coverage that includes SAST, DAST, API testing, SBOM, and app store monitoring in a single platform rather than separate point tools. 

Appknox detects vulnerabilities across six categories: insecure data storage; API and backend security gaps; network and communication risks (e.g., MITM, weak TLS); vulnerable third-party SDKs via SBOM; privacy and compliance violations; and runtime or store-readiness issues, such as app tampering. Every finding includes severity, CVE mapping, and remediation steps. 

At Appknox, our mission is simple: to revolutionize mobile app security with top-notch solutions and a commitment to quality. We aim to provide innovative solutions that help businesses identify and remediate security vulnerabilities, ensuring the safety of their apps and protecting user data.

Every vulnerability detected by Appknox is automatically tagged to the corresponding regulatory or security controls (e.g., OWASP, PCI DSS, or GDPR articles). You can generate detailed, compliance-ready reports that map findings to each requirement, saving hours of manual audit preparation.

Yes. Appknox supports hundreds of apps across teams, regions, and brands through a centralized dashboard that provides consolidated reporting, compliance tracking, and SLA management at enterprise scale.

Ideally, run automated scans at every major build or release and schedule continuous DAST scans weekly. Frequent testing ensures new features, SDKs, or code updates don’t reintroduce risk. Security isn’t seasonal; it’s continuous.

Appknox’s cloud engine auto-triggers a comprehensive SAST scan as soon as you upload your binary. Critical issues are highlighted instantly so your team can act before the next build cycle. 

Complete running the DAST and the API security testing for a comprehensive VA. You can then generate your scan reports from the dashboard in minutes!

Appknox maps static analysis findings to industry-recognized frameworks such as OWASP MASVS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. This allows teams to demonstrate that code-level risks are identified, tracked, and remediated in line with compliance expectations.

Scan results are timestamped, traceable, and audit-ready, simplifying compliance validation.

💡Pro tip: Compliance-ready SAST requires evidence, not assumptions.

Appknox likely stays updated by maintaining partnerships with security research communities, tracking industry trends, participating in security conferences, and investing in continuous research and development. We also collaborate with security experts to stay ahead of emerging threats.

We have a rich portfolio of success stories and case studies that showcase our collaborations with clients spanning various sectors, including BFSI, Oil and Gas, Energy, Airlines, FMCG, and other Fortune 2000 businesses across diverse industries. These case studies highlight the value we've added to their operations.

Notably, a prominent government banking institution in the UAE recently partnered with Appknox to address its cybersecurity needs. For further details, you can explore our case studies section to gain insights into our impactful engagements.

Yes, absolutely! Appknox is designed for global scalability and enterprise-grade visibility, supporting hundreds of apps across teams, regions, and brands. A centralized dashboard provides consolidated reporting, compliance tracking, and SLA management at scale.

Our highly trained model remembers when a user marks a vulnerability with a different severity before generating the report, and therefore, it doesn’t raise false alarms in the report afterward. 

In addition, our customers can combine automated scanning with manual expert validation for an extra layer of security. That way, every vulnerability gets verified by Appknox’s in-house security analysts before it reaches your dashboard.

With Appknox, you get only actionable insights, not guesswork.

Appknox produces super-detailed reports and automatically ranks vulnerabilities by severity, exploitability, and business impact, enabling your teams to focus on addressing what’s truly critical to your business. 

Appknox dashboards highlight what’s critical now and integrate with Jira or Slack for direct ticketing. That means fewer false alarms and faster fixes.

With Appknox, turn vulnerability noise into an ordered backlog your team can act on.

Appknox integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines, allowing teams to automatically run mobile app and API security tests on every build, commit, or release. This embeds security early in the development lifecycle (“shift left”) while enabling continuous testing post-release, without disrupting release velocity.

With Appknox, your security becomes part of delivery, not a gate at the end.
