    What kind of vulnerabilities does Appknox identify?

    Appknox delivers enterprise-grade coverage across the full mobile app security spectrum, detecting everything from OWASP Mobile Top 10 risks to advanced, real-world threats that commonly bypass traditional scanners.

    Our automated SAST, DAST, and API testing—executed on real devices—uncovers:

    Insecure data storage & sensitive data exposure:  Hardcoded secrets, unencrypted PII, weak crypto, and leakage paths.

    API & backend security gaps:  Broken auth, insecure endpoints, misconfigurations, and authorization flaws.

    • Network & communication risks:  MITM exposure, weak SSL/TLS, and insecure transport channels.

    Vulnerable SDKs & supply chain risk (SBOM):  Outdated libraries, known CVEs, malicious components, and dependency issues.

    Privacy & compliance violations: GDPR/HIPAA gaps, over-permissioning, unauthorized data collection (via Privacy Shield).

    Runtime, behavioral & store-readiness issues: Tampering risks, reverse engineering exposure, and policy violations (via Storeknox).

    • Advanced logic flaws & zero-day paths: Identified through expert-led manual penetration testing.

    All findings include severity, CVE mapping, business impact analysis, and clear remediation steps, enabling enterprise teams to fix faster and maintain a strong mobile security posture.

    From code to APIs to supply chain and compliance, Appknox identifies what most tools miss, giving enterprises complete visibility and control over mobile app risk.

    Can Appknox provide compliance-ready reports for regulators and auditors?

    Yes, absolutely it can! Appknox generates compliance-ready reports in formats like PDF and Excel, mapping vulnerabilities directly to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 controls. These reports are ready to be shared with auditors or regulatory bodies to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

    With Appknox, you will spend less time preparing reports and more time improving security.
     

    How often should I run vulnerability assessments with Appknox?

    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.

    Can Appknox scale for large enterprise app portfolios?

    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.

    How does Appknox ensure accuracy and minimize false positives?

    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.

    How do I prioritize findings with Appknox so my dev team fixes what matters first?

    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.

    How does Appknox fit into a DevSecOps security strategy?

    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.
