How it all began

The explosive growth of mobile apps has created an industry of app development where time-to-market is everything. Security has suffered often, and very publicly, insecure apps have leaked payment, banking, and other sensitive user data much to the embarrassment of major brands.

They’ve been in the security space for over five years now. But the mission to build a safe and secure mobile ecosystem began in January 2014 when many public disclosures came to light - Starbucks, Snapchat, and more. Private and confidential data of millions of people were revealed publicly.

This led to the idea of building Appknox, a complete mobile security solution to help app owners secure their apps.
