Appknox
What it is
Appknox is a mobile application security platform for Android and iOS apps. It combines automated vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, software bill of materials generation, and app store monitoring. Automated assessment covers static analysis, dynamic analysis, and API security testing. A scan can begin with an uploaded app binary, without source code. Appknox supports apps built with Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, and Ionic, and offers a command-line tool and public APIs for scans, reports, and security operations. Its listed integrations include Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, CircleCI, App Center Build, Bitbucket Pipelines, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and ArmorCode. Findings can be mapped to frameworks such as GDPR, PCI-DSS v4.0, HIPAA, NIST, SAMA, DORA, CWE, and OWASP standards. Deployment options include on-premise and private cloud. Appknox says scans of the same app are unlimited, while pricing is based on unique apps assessed. The service is paid, pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
