AppSealing (https://www.appsealing.com/), a leading cloud-based, end-to-end 
mobile app protection solution by INKA Entworks, announced it has been 
identified as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Application 
Security 
(https://www.appsealing.com/mobile-app-security-a-comprehensive-guide-to-secure-
your-apps/), 2022. It has been named in the application shielding category. The 
recognition comes after a series of recent customer wins, product innovations 
and industry accolades.

    The report covers multiple technologies like policy-as-code, SaaS security 
posture management, SBOM, API security testing, API threat protection among 
others. It looks at two broad families of app shielding 
(https://www.appsealing.com/app-shielding/) functionality – hardening and 
anti-tampering – while pointing out that "adoption of app shielding is 
experiencing growth for consumer-facing mobile in industry verticals such as 
gaming apps, financial services, online retail, healthcare, insurance and 
automotive." It also provides drivers, obstacles and user recommendations.

    Emphasizing the importance of application security, Gartner observes, 
"Security and risk management leaders need to adopt a composable view of 
application security. They should focus on orchestrating multiple application 
security innovations to serve as a coherent defense, rather than relying on a 
set of stand-alone products."

    "Application shielding (https://www.appsealing.com/app-shielding/) and 
security have been a key focus area for us at AppSealing. We are happy to be 
helping global companies manage their mobile application security needs all 
through one single, holistic platform. Be it constantly innovating, fine-tuning 
our offerings or responding to changing market needs, AppSealing has been a 
frontrunner. We think this recognition from Gartner will help us take yet 
another step closer to leveraging the power of robust app shielding strategies 
to enable smooth user experience while helping companies save costs and 
reputation," says James Ahn, CEO of INKA Entworks which delivers AppSealing, a 
mobile app security solution for global brands. "We believe being named by 
Gartner as a Sample Vendor reinforces our solution's value to our customers."

    AppSealing has been at the forefront of innovation on the back of 
consistently upgraded product capabilities around data encryption, mobile app 
security and, notably, runtime application self protection (RASP) 
(https://www.appsealing.com/rasp-security-runtime-application-self-protection/) 
features. The solution enables application security teams to work on adding 
scalable mobile application security to their technology stack in a simple, 
seamless manner with SaaS and On premise offering. With clients spread across 
geographies and industries like gaming, financial services, online retail, 
e-commerce, insurance, government apps and healthcare verticals, AppSealing 
offers a real-time threat analytics dashboard to prevent and detect attacks 
such as tampering, reverse engineering
