Guardsquare Named 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Finalist for Mobile Application Security

Cyber Defense Magazine recognizes Guardsquare among the Top 25 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies in the World for its full-lifecycle mobile application security platform

BOSTON and LEUVEN, Belgium – August 4, 2026 – Guardsquare, the leading provider of mobile application security, today announced that it has been named a finalist in both the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards and the Top 25 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies in the World by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

“Being named a finalist by Cyber Defense Magazine is meaningful because it recognizes the real work required to protect mobile applications in today’s threat landscape,” said Erica Sheehan, Chief Marketing Officer of Guardsquare. “Security has to be proactive and built into the app lifecycle, not treated as a final checkpoint. At Guardsquare, we help organizations make the most advanced mobile app security practical and accessible while protecting sensitive data, intellectual property, revenue, and customer trust.”

Announced during Black Hat USA 2026, the recognition highlights Guardsquare’s comprehensive approach to mobile application security, including full-lifecycle protection from security testing and code hardening to runtime protection, real-time threat detection, and mobile API security. The platform helps organizations defend Android and iOS applications against reverse engineering, tampering, runtime abuse, malware, fraud attacks, and other threats.

Judging continues through October 2026, when winners will be announced online, in print, and during CyberDefenseCon 2026, taking place October 20-21.

“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cybercrime. Guardsquare is worthy of being named a finalist in these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
