Appdome
Appdome is an Israeli mobile application security startup that provides a no-code, AI-powered platform for building security, anti-fraud, anti-malware, and compliance protections directly into Android and iOS mobile apps without requiring code changes or SDK integrations.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Appdome developed a patented no-code mobile app security platform that uses AI and machine learning to automatically inject security protections, anti-fraud defenses, anti-malware capabilities, and compliance controls into Android and iOS mobile applications—directly within the CI/CD pipeline and without requiring manual code changes, SDKs, or developer involvement. The platform supports over 400 mobile app defense features including code obfuscation, root/jailbreak detection, anti-tampering, encryption, and runtime application self-protection (RASP).
Commercially, Appdome competes in the mobile application security market alongside Promon, Guardsquare, Zimperium, and Verimatrix. Founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv by Tom Tovar (co-CEO) and Alan Bavosa, the company has raised over $150M from investors including Shift4, Panorama Growth Equity, and SYN Ventures. Appdome serves major financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and government agencies requiring mobile app protection without disrupting development velocity.
From a defense and national security perspective, mobile application security is increasingly critical as military and government operations depend on mobile apps for communications, logistics, and field operations. The ability to automatically harden mobile apps against reverse engineering, tampering, and malware without developer involvement enables rapid deployment of secure mobile capabilities for defense. Anti-tampering and code obfuscation capabilities directly support protection of sensitive military mobile applications.
