Guardsquare Wins 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Award for Mobile App Security

Cyber Defense Magazine names Guardsquare a Market Disruptor in Mobile App Security for its full-lifecycle approach to protecting mobile applications

BOSTON and LEUVEN, Belgium – October 20, 2026 – Guardsquare, the leading provider of mobile application security, today announced it has been named the winner of the Market Disruptor Mobile App Security award in the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

The award recognizes Guardsquare’s comprehensive and innovative approach to mobile application security. Guardsquare secures the full mobile app lifecycle, from security testing and code hardening to runtime protection, real-time threat detection and API security, helping organizations defend Android and iOS applications against reverse engineering, tampering, runtime abuse, malware, fraud attacks and other threats.

“Being named Market Disruptor for Mobile App Security is especially meaningful because mobile apps are where customers bank, shop and get care, and attackers have followed them there,” said Erica Sheehan, Chief Marketing Officer at Guardsquare. “Security can’t be treated as a final checkpoint bolted on right before release. It has to be built into the app lifecycle in a way development teams will use. That’s the shift this award recognizes, and it’s what lets our customers protect their data, revenue, and customer trust without slowing down delivery.”

Guardsquare helps organizations make advanced mobile app security a reality by integrating it into development workflows, enabling strong protections without sacrificing user experience, app performance, or time to market. More than 1,000 customers worldwide rely on Guardsquare to identify risks and protect their mobile applications and SDKs, strengthen compliance, protect intellectual property, reduce fraud risk, and safeguard mobile-driven revenue streams.

“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 cyber-crime. Guardsquare is worthy of being named a winner in these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
