Business Intelligence Group honors Guardsquare for advancing mobile application security across the development lifecycle
BOSTON and LEUVEN, Belgium – June 2, 2026 – Guardsquare, the leading provider of mobile application security, was named a winner in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards in the category of Mobile Application Security. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the award recognizes the organizations, products, and people applying cybersecurity in ways that deliver real, measurable protection.
The 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards honor achievement across the full landscape of digital defense, spotlighting the companies and leaders moving security beyond reaction and into proactive, accountable practice. This year's program recognized winners across 27 categories and 6 countries.
The company was recognized for its Guardsquare Platform (DexGuard, iXGuard, AppSweep, ThreatCast, App Attestation), which delivers end-to-end mobile application security across the full development lifecycle, from testing and code hardening to real-time threat detection and mobile API security. By incorporating security directly into development workflows and protecting applications at build time and runtime, the Platform helps organizations maintain compliance, protect intellectual property and revenue, and strengthen resilience without sacrificing user experience, performance, or release speed.
"Mobile application security threats are real, and so is the defense. 2026 is about getting ahead of the attacker — execution, accountability, and measurable resilience," said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. "Guardsquare stood out because its work in Mobile Application Security reflects where the market is headed: practical cybersecurity that solves real problems, earns trust, and protects the organizations and assets that depend on it. This recognition highlights a team that is not just keeping pace with the threat landscape, but helping define what meaningful defense looks like."
"We are honored to be recognized in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards for our work in Mobile Application Security," said Erica Sheehan, Chief Marketing Officer of Guardsquare. "In today’s mobile threat landscape, security has to be proactive, embedded directly into the application rather than layered on after the fact. This award reflects the strength of our platform, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to delivering robust protection that delivers real outcomes."
The Fortress Cybersecurity Awards celebrate the people and organizations leading the next phase of digital defense, where progress is judged not by novelty, but by impact. Winners are selected based on how effectively they are using cybersecurity to reduce risk, protect data and assets, prevent harm, and strengthen the resilience of the organizations and communities they serve.
