Appknox has announced a strategic partnership with CredShields to deliver integrated security across mobile, decentralized, and cloud-native environments. The collaboration brings together Appknox’s expertise in enterprise mobile app and API security with CredShields’ AI-powered blockchain and smart contract protection, offering organizations an end-to-end solution for securing digital ecosystems.
Appknox and CredShields form a global security partnership
Unified coverage across mobile apps, APIs, cloud, and Web3 platforms
Mobile malware grew 29% in H1 2025, while Web3 hacks caused $2.3B in 2024
Solutions help enterprises meet compliance and boost resilience
Partnership targets fintech, enterprise mobility, and decentralized apps globally
Security positioned as a growth enabler, not just compliance
As enterprises expand into mobile-first apps, decentralized platforms, and Web3 ecosystems, their attack surfaces continue to grow. Threats are on the rise: Android malware surged 29% in the first half of 2025, Web3 incidents caused $2.3 billion in cryptocurrency losses in 2024, and 80% of organizations reported cloud security incidents. Fragmented defenses often fail to cover these complex risks, leaving businesses vulnerable.
Appknox and CredShields aim to close these gaps with a unified approach.
"Security vendors can no longer operate in silos," said Subho Halder, CEO of Appknox. "By partnering with CredShields, we're reinforcing our commitment to making security a true growth enabler, not just a compliance checkbox, helping organizations innovate confidently across mobile, cloud, and Web3 ecosystems."
CredShields leverages AI-driven automation alongside expert services to tackle vulnerabilities in blockchain and smart contracts, making Web3 security scalable and accessible. Appknox strengthens this approach with its continuous testing and monitoring of mobile apps and APIs, helping enterprises maintain resilience while meeting global compliance requirements.
"With blockchain-related hacks causing over $2 billion in losses last year, more than half due to smart contract vulnerabilities, organizations need security that is both scalable and accessible," said Shashank In, Founder & CEO of CredShields. "By partnering with Appknox, we're combining AI-powered automation with expert services to proactively identify and mitigate risks across emerging digital platforms, helping businesses turn security into a strategic advantage rather than a reactive necessity."
The combined offering empowers organizations to:
Protect mobile apps, APIs, and digital assets with full-stack coverage
Meet compliance and regulatory requirements across markets
Transform security into a driver of customer trust and growth
This collaboration highlights a shift from fragmented, point solutions to integrated cybersecurity ecosystems—essential for enterprises operating in the digital-first, decentralized era.
