At GISEC Global 2025, Appknox launched Storeknox, an AI-powered platform designed to safeguard mobile applications after they are released. As mobile apps become key business tools across sectors like finance, healthcare, and retail, they also attract increasing threats from fake apps, malware, and brand impersonation—especially in mobile-first regions such as the GCC. Storeknox addresses these post-release vulnerabilities by offering real-time monitoring across public app stores like Google Play and Apple App Store, flagging unauthorized uploads, malicious clones, and suspicious updates.
Unlike traditional tools that focus solely on development-stage security, Storeknox introduces a critical new layer of continuous post-release protection. Using advanced AI, the platform detects injected code, phishing attempts, and shadow versions that can compromise user safety and corporate integrity. By offering real-time threat intelligence, metadata tracking, and automated alerts, Storeknox equips CISOs and security teams with the tools to respond swiftly to emerging risks.
Appknox CEO and Co-founder Subho Halder emphasized that security does not end with app deployment. In the GCC, where mobile usage is dominant, enterprises face a growing risk of impersonation and malware distribution.
“The development of Storeknox was driven by direct input from Appknox’s enterprise customers, many of whom cited a lack of visibility after release as a top concern,” Halder continues. “With mobile applications deployed across multiple geographies, these organizations struggled to identify unauthorized clones, outdated versions, or fraudulent apps imitating their brands. Storeknox was built to solve these challenges, offering real-time protection for the post-launch phase which is a critical period often overlooked by traditional security solutions.”
Storeknox integrates with Appknox’s broader mobile security suite—including SAST, DAST, API testing, and SBOM—providing end-to-end lifecycle protection. This unified approach empowers DevSecOps and security teams to manage mobile app risk from development through deployment and post-release, while maintaining compliance with global and regional regulations. Storeknox ultimately closes a major gap in mobile app security, ensuring brand protection and user trust in an evolving threat landscape.
