Guardsquare, the leading provider of mobile application security, today announced that its platform has been named the winner of Best Mobile Security Solution in the 2026 Tech Ascension Awards.
Guardsquare delivers end-to-end mobile application security across the full development lifecycle, helping organizations secure Android and iOS applications, starting with testing and hardening through release, runtime protection, and real-world threat monitoring. The platform combines AppSweep for mobile application security testing (MAST), DexGuard for Android and iXGuard for iOS code hardening and runtime protection, ThreatCast for real-time threat detection, and App Attestation for mobile API security and app integrity.
“Mobile applications are now central to how organizations engage customers, deliver services, and generate revenue, but they also create a critical attack surface that traditional security models do not fully address,” said Erica Sheehan, Chief Marketing Officer of Guardsquare. “This recognition validates Guardsquare’s approach to embedding security directly into the mobile application lifecycle, helping development and security teams identify risks earlier, protect apps at build time and runtime, and maintain trust without slowing innovation.”
The award recognizes Guardsquare’s dedication to helping organizations defend their mobile apps and SDKs against reverse engineering, tampering, runtime abuse, malware, fraud, and threats from non-genuine or modified apps. Guardsquare’s technology integrates into development workflows without slowing release cycles or compromising user experience, performance, or time-to-market.
The Tech Ascension Awards recognize leading innovations across the technology industry. Applicants are evaluated based on technological innovation, market impact, measurable performance, and competitive differentiation.
