Appknox Targets 5x GCC Growth with Strong Regional Push and New StoreKnox Launch
Rishika Mehrotra, Chief Strategy Officer at Appknox, is spearheading the company's aggressive growth strategy from her base in Dubai, focusing on scaling operations across the GCC region and globally. Appknox, a leading mobile application security company, provides an automated security testing platform that helps organizations secure their mobile apps throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). With cybersecurity risks rising, especially in mobile ecosystems, Appknox is responding to market demands with innovative solutions.
A major milestone for the company is the recent launch of StoreKnox, a post-deployment monitoring tool that detects fake apps and scans for malware across app marketplaces. This addition complements Appknox's pre-deployment security tools and positions it as a full-spectrum mobile app security provider.
Looking ahead to 2025, Appknox is targeting 5x growth in the GCC and 3x global growth, powered by its two-tier distribution model. The company works closely with master distributor Bulwark and more than 100 partners across the GCC. This partner-first approach includes regular technical enablement, joint marketing campaigns, and shared market intelligence to strengthen ecosystem capabilities.
The GCC's tightening regulatory environment is a key growth driver. Increasing compliance requirements and rising cybersecurity threats are pushing enterprises and governments to adopt more advanced mobile security measures. Recognizing this, Appknox is expanding into new markets like Oman and Egypt, with a special focus on government contracts.
Rishika notes that as governments introduce stricter cybersecurity frameworks, the demand for robust, end-to-end mobile security across the SDLC is surging. Appknox's scalable platform, regional presence, and commitment to partner empowerment position it well to capitalize on this momentum and deliver secure mobile experiences at scale. 0 0

Appknox launches Storeknox at GISEC Global 2025
Appknox, a global leader in mobile application security, recently announced the launch of Storeknox, a groundbreaking continuous store monitoring platform designed to protect enterprises from evolving mobile app threats. The new solution was unveiled at GISEC Global 2025, where cybersecurity professionals from around the world are gathering to discuss the industry's most pressing challenges. As mobile apps become critical touchpoints across industries—from finance and healthcare to telecom and retail—threat actors are exploiting them through fake apps, phishing campaigns, and brand impersonation. Storeknox helps organisations take control by detecting and responding to unauthorised versions, malicious clones, and live threats across public app stores. The platform delivers real-time visibility across marketplaces like Google Play and the Apple App Store, monitoring official apps for unauthorised uploads, version changes, and policy violations. 'Security doesn't stop at app release—it enters a new phase', said Subho Halder, CEO & Co-founder of Appknox. 'In mobile-first regions like the GCC, fake apps, malware, and brand abuse are growing at an alarming rate. Enterprises need continuous AI-driven protection that evolves with the threat landscape—and that's exactly what Storeknox delivers. It's the missing layer of defence that businesses have been asking for—and today, we're making it a reality'. Unlike legacy approaches that stop at development-stage testing, Storeknox introduces post-release monitoring as an essential layer of protection. Utilising AI-powered detection technology, Storeknox uncovers malicious behaviour, injected code, phishing attempts, and shadow versions that often go unnoticed after an app is live. By consolidating threat intelligence, metadata monitoring, and automated alerts into a centralised dashboard, Storeknox gives CISOs and security teams the ability to act swiftly, close security gaps, and protect user trust. '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 organisations struggled to identify unauthorised 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 aligns with Appknox's vision to offer full-lifecycle mobile app security, complementing its existing stack of testing solutions such as SAST, DAST, API testing, and SBOM. Together, these solutions empower security and DevSecOps teams to manage risk from development through deployment, while supporting compliance with local and global regulations. Image Credit: Appknox
