Mobile applications face threats that require specialized security beyond traditional app categories. A recent analyst note by Info-Tech Research Group concludes that Guardsquare delivers value through a platform that combines automated testing and multi-layered protection.

This analyst note details the strengths of Guardsquare platform capabilities, including:

• Continuous, automated testing. AppSweep enables developers to conduct mobile‑specific security testing early in the software development lifecycle and within existing CI/CD pipeline workflows.
• Multi-layered protection. DexGuard (Android) and iXGuard (iOS) harden the released app with automated injections and runtime checks.
• API security. Verify client-side applications and device trust before sensitive API calls. This aligns well with identity and fraud‑resistant mobile workflows without impacting app performance or speed‑to‑market.
