Boston, MA – May 31, 2023 – Guardsquare, the mobile application security provider, today announced that its tool, AppSweep, is a winner of the 2023 Fortress Cyber Security Awards in the Application Security category.

AppSweep is Guardsquare’s free mobile application security testing (MAST) tool that quickly scans mobile applications to identify risks and provides developers with actionable insights to fix vulnerabilities in the code and dependencies. Intuitive to use, AppSweep integrates seamlessly with DevOps pipelines and, by checking security continuously during the development process, it increases the effectiveness and efficiency of pentesting.

“It is an honor to be named a 2023 Fortress Cyber Security Award winner for the second consecutive year,” said Roel Caers, CEO of Guardsquare. “This award serves as a testament to Guardsquare’s innovation and dedication to making mobile application security accessible to all organizations.
